Published in 1608 by Abraham Ortelius, the Romani Imperii Imago stands as an early depiction of the Roman Empire's expanse, revered as a pinnacle in the world of cartography.

This map, oriented with the north at the top, encompasses the Mediterranean world and stretches into Europe, Asia, and Africa. It meticulously details cities, towns, rivers, and mountains while highlighting the empire's major roads and trade routes. Employing a color-coded system, it distinguishes between the various provinces of the empire.

Abraham Ortelius, a Flemish cartographer and geographer hailed as the "father of modern cartography," was born in Antwerp in 1527. His scholarly pursuits led him to study law and philosophy at the University of Louvain. His cartographic journey began in 1558 with the publication of maps and atlases. Among his most renowned works stands Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, initially printed in 1570 and widely regarded as the inaugural modern atlas. Ortelius passed away in Antwerp in 1598, leaving behind an enduring legacy in the world of cartography.
