[edit] Summary

Description

World Map by Cosmas Indicopleustes. The map is oriented with north to the top. It shows a rectangular landmass in the middle of the Okeanos (Cosmas believed that the world was flat and shaped like a tabernacle). The Mediterranean is shown in the western half, with indication of the Adriatic and the Aegaean+Euxine Seas to the north, the strait of Gibraltar to the west and the Nile to the south. Three further Seas are shown as connected to the Ocean, the Caspian to the northeast, and the Red Sea ("Arabian Gulf") and the Persian Gulf to the south, the latter joined by Euphrates and Tigris. Paradise is shown in the Far East, beyond the Ocean.

[edit] Licensing

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of an original two-dimensional work of art. The original image comprising the work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain This image (or other media file) is in the public domain because its copyright has expired.

This applies to the United States, Canada, the European Union and those countries with a copyright term of life of the author plus 70 years.

Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Côte d'Ivoire has a general copyright term of 99 years and Honduras has 75 years, but they do implement that rule of the shorter term.
