<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 413739, member: 5833"]My guess is that it is a quotation from the poet, exalting Rome, like putting This sceptred isle on a map of England. Around the edges are various references to the mythology & history of Rome. The she-wolf suckling Romulus & Remus; a cherub bearing the arms of the Pope, another with the SPQR of the Roman Legions. The figure seated atop the half column is probably Roma, the personification of Rome.</p><p><br /></p><p>The map is not topographical; it does not show elevation, etc. It's a map showing the most notable factories in Rome at the time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 413739, member: 5833"]My guess is that it is a quotation from the poet, exalting Rome, like putting This sceptred isle on a map of England. Around the edges are various references to the mythology & history of Rome. The she-wolf suckling Romulus & Remus; a cherub bearing the arms of the Pope, another with the SPQR of the Roman Legions. The figure seated atop the half column is probably Roma, the personification of Rome. The map is not topographical; it does not show elevation, etc. It's a map showing the most notable factories in Rome at the time.[/QUOTE]
