In den Warenkorb1st Edition. Very good. Original platemark visible. Blank on verso. Original centerfold. Size 16.5 x 22 Inches. A fine first edition example of M. Lapie's 1830 map of Ancient Germany. Centered on the Roman Germania, the map covers the lands of the Germanic peoples prior to the fall of the Roman empire. At the time Germania was a… name given to the lands between the Alps and the Baltic Sea. The region was inhabited by mainly by Germanic, but also Celtic, Baltic, Scythian, proto-Slavic peoples. Caesar Augustus described the Germanic tribesmen north of the Roman empire as extremely savage and a threat to Roman Gaul to be conquered. His Roman Legions, led by generals Germanicus and Tiberius, conquered Germania Magna to the River elbe, and occupied it until the Romans were defeated at the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, in 9AD. The Romans withdrew, establishing the Rhine and the Danube Rivers as Germanic boundary of the Roman empire. Tacitus wrote in Germania in 98 BCe: they affirm Germania to be a recent word, lately bestowed. For those who first passed the Rhine and expulsed the Gauls, and are now named Tungrians, were then called Germani. And thus by degrees the name of a tribe prevailed, not that of the nation; so that by an appellation at first occasioned by fear and conquest, they afterwards chose to be distinguished, and assuming a name lately invented were universally called Germani. This map was engraved by Armand Joseph Lallemand as plate no. 07 in the first edition of M. Lapie's important Atlas Universel . This map, like all maps from the Atlas Universel features an embossed stamp from the Lapie firm. References: Rumsey 2174.007. Phillips (Atlases) 754, 765.

In den WarenkorbVery good. Minor wear along original fold lines. Original platemark visible. Minor worm holes visible in lower quadrants. Blank on verso. Size 9 x 14 Inches. This is a fine 1782 map of Ancient Germany by Jean- Baptiste-Claude Delisle de Sales. Centered on Bohemia, the map covers the lands of the Germanic people prior to the fall… of the Roman Empire, from modern day Denmark to the Adriatic Sea and from France to Lithuania. Several important cities and towns are identified throughout, along with rivers, lakes and other topography. Mountains are beautifully rendered in profile. At the time, 'Germania' was a name given to the lands between the Alps and the Baltic Sea. The region was inhabited mainly by Germanic, but also Celtic, Baltic, Scythian, proto-Slavic people. Caesar Augustus described the Germanic tribesmen north of the Roman Empire as extremely savage and a threat to Roman Gaul to be conquered. His Roman Legions, led by generals Germanicus and Tiberius, conquered Germania Magna to the River Elbe, and occupied it until the Romans were defeated at the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, in 9AD. The Romans withdrew, establishing the Rhine and the Danube Rivers as Germanic boundary of the Roman Empire. Tacitus wrote inGermaniain 98 BC: they affirm Germania to be a recent word, lately bestowed. For those who first passed the Rhine and expulsed the Gauls, and are now named Tungrians, were then called Germani. And thus by degrees the name of a tribe prevailed, not that of the nation; so that by an appellation at first occasioned by fear and conquest, they afterwards chose to be distinguished, and assuming a name lately invented were universally called Germani . This map was issued as part of Delisle de Sales' Histoire des Hommes. Partie de l'Histoire Moderne . This volume is exceedingly rare as most of Sales' work was burnt under the censorship of heresy.
