Description

1747 1ed ROME Italy Romulus Persians MAPS Corsica Sardinia Parthian Sicily

The “Universal History” is a mid-18th-century history of the world. Written by numerous authors and contributors, this enormous set included more than 60 distinct volumes over the course of 20 years. Initially, the work was designed to provide Western Europe with anecdotes and histories from lesser-known cultures and parts of the world.

This rare volume from the 1747 first edition focuses on the history of the Parthian Empire and the Persians. However, the most important part of this tome is the numerous essays and articles describing the rise of the Roman Empire with descriptions of ancient Italy.

It includes impressive, folding engravings including a map of Ancient Italy, maps of the Middle regions of Italy, a map of Southern Italy with Corsica, Sardinia, and Sicily; views of the ‘original’ plans of Rome during the reign of Romulus and Servius Tullius,
