We are continuing our series of studies regarding the maps of Roman Dacia with this short note regarding the representation of Dacia on a map published by Luigi Ferdinando Marsigli in his book Danubius Pannonico-Mysicus, observationibus geographicis, astronomicis, hydrographicis, historicis, physicis perlustratus et in sex tomos digestus, I-II, Hagae-Amstelodami, 1726. The military engineer born in Bologna in 1658 elaborated a map in his book, at the beginning of the second volume, entitled Theatrum antiqvitatum romanarum in Hungaria: sive mappa geographica regionum Danubio circumjacentium, Pannoniarum, Daciarum, Mysiar: etc. in qvibus antiqvitates romanae Svis singulae figuris in hoc tomo descriptae reperiuntur. Our study examines the main features illustrated in Marsigli’s map, including some Roman roads and forts.
