A roughly drawn parchment map showing the known world in 525 CE. The map is more symbolic than geographically accurate, with major cities like Constantinople, Rome, and Alexandria marked prominently in stylized fonts. Roads and trade routes are depicted as simple lines connecting these hubs. The lands are outlined in uneven shapes, with regions labeled as "Gallia," "Italia," and "Thracia." The Mediterranean Sea is a large, central body, shaded in dark blue with hand-drawn waves. Decorative elements, such as small illustrations of mythical creatures and sailing ships, fill the empty spaces. The map is faded, with visible creases and the edges slightly torn, giving it an aged and ancient appearance.
