The map in question is part of a series of works by Homem that depict various parts of the world known to Europeans at the time. It is notable for its representation of the regions surrounding the Caspian Sea, Turkey, and Cyprus, providing valuable insights into the geographical understanding of these areas during the Renaissance. The map likely served both as a navigational aid and as a tool for political and economic planning, reflecting the interests of European powers in the region.
Diego Homem's work is characterized by meticulous attention to detail and a blend of artistic and scientific elements.
