Abraham Ortelius, in his atlas "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum," included a map titled "Aevi Veteris, Typus Geographicus," which translates to "Geographical Map of Ancient Times." This map was one of the many maps featured in the atlas and aimed to represent the known geography of the ancient world.

Ortelius was known for his meticulous research and compilation of existing maps, and he utilized various sources to create his maps. In the case of the "Aevi Veteris, Typus Geographicus" map, he likely drew inspiration from classical texts, historical accounts, and earlier maps produced by ancient civilizations.

The map depicted the regions and boundaries of different ancient empires, kingdoms, and cities, providing a visual representation of the world as it was understood during ancient times. It showcased important landmarks, rivers, mountains, and other geographical features relevant to those historical periods.

It is important to note that Ortelius's map, like other maps of that era, might not have been entirely accurate by today's standards. The understanding of geography and cartography was still evolving during the 16th century, and available information about ancient civilizations was often limited or incomplete. Nonetheless, Ortelius's map provided a valuable representation of the known world at that time and contributed to the advancement of geographical knowledge.

The inclusion of the "Aevi Veteris, Typus Geographicus" map in "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" demonstrated Ortelius's commitment to presenting a comprehensive and informative atlas, encompassing both contemporary and historical geography. It showcased his expertise as a cartographer and his dedication to documenting and organizing geographical knowledge for the benefit of scholars, explorers, and map enthusiasts of his time.
