MAPS OF ROMAN DACIA. V. LUIGI FERDINANDO MARSIGLI AND ROMAN DACIA IN 1726
Abstract
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.
