The map has six bird's-eye views of cities (Rome, Genoa, Jerusalem, Venice, Constantinople & Alexandria), and ten costume vignettes. In the sea off Ireland is a sea-battle, again with galleons rather than galleys.
Engraved by Abraham Goos for Speed's Prospect of the World, with a two-page English text "The Description of Roman Empire" on verso.
