Abraham Ortelius was a renowned cartographer and geographer from the 16th century. He is best known for his work "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" (Theatre of the World), which is considered one of the earliest modern atlases. This work included a collection of maps of various regions and countries.

"Daciarum, Moesiarum qve, vetvs descriptio" it's a map that Ortelius created in 1595, depicting the regions of Dacia and Moesia. Dacia was an ancient land located in the area that roughly corresponds to present-day Romania and Moldova. Moesia was also an ancient region, situated in the Balkans, covering parts of present-day Serbia, Bulgaria, and North Macedonia.

The map it's part of Ortelius' atlas, and it would have depicted these regions as they were understood and mapped in the late 16th century. These historical maps are valuable not only for their geographical accuracy, given the limitations of the time, but also for the insights they provide into the understanding of the world during that period.

In addition to his contributions to cartography, Ortelius was also involved in the scientific and intellectual circles of his time. He corresponded with many leading thinkers, including Gerardus Mercator, another influential cartographer of the era. Ortelius was recognized for his expertise and was appointed as the official geographer to the King of Spain.

Abraham Ortelius is remembered as a pioneer in the field of cartography and his work laid the foundation for the development of modern mapmaking and atlases. His maps and atlases are still highly valued by collectors, historians, and map enthusiasts today.
