Macrobius World Map Framed Poster

from $45.94
The inhabited world occupies one temperate band; beyond the equatorial ocean lies the unvisited country of the Antipodes. This hand-colored reconstruction follows the Macrobian zonal tradition preserved through medieval copies of the Commentary on the Dream of Scipio. The terrestrial globe is divided into two frigid zones, two temperate zones, and a central torrid region crossed by the equatorial ocean. The known Oikoumene occupies the northern temperate world, while its hypothetical antipodal counterpart remains across the impassable central waters. Classical geography, medieval cosmography, and early theories of the spherical Earth meet within one ordered world diagram. The surrounding winds, celestial model, ocean emblem, and illuminated border give it the presence of a recovered cosmographical manuscript. PRODUCT DETAILS • Premium wooden framed poster • Durable pine frame • Frame measures 20–25 mm deep and 10–14 mm wide • Heavyweight 200 gsm white matte paper • Smooth, non-reflective finish • Paper thickness: 0.22 mm • Shatterproof plexiglass protects the artwork • Hanging kit included; arrives ready to hang • FSC-certified materials or equivalent • Available in 15 sizes • Inch sizing available in the US and Canada; centimeter sizing elsewhere The other temperate world remains beyond the equatorial sea.
