The "Map of Claudiopolis" is a notable work by Joris Hoefnagel, a Flemish artist, engraver, and miniaturist of the 16th century, featured in the seminal city atlas "Civitates Orbis Terrarum." This atlas, co-authored by Georg Braun and largely engraved by Franz Hogenberg, was published in six volumes between 1572 and 1617 and is considered one of the most important works in the history of urban cartography. The "Map of Claudiopolis" represents the city known in modern times as Bolu, Turkey, which was historically referred to as Claudiopolis during the Roman and Byzantine eras.

Hoefnagel's contribution to the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" includes detailed and artistically rendered maps and city views, which were based on direct observations and, at times, on earlier maps and descriptions. His work is characterized by a high level of detail and accuracy, combined with an artistic flair that captures the essence of the urban landscapes of the period. The "Map of Claudiopolis" is no exception, offering a unique glimpse into the layout and architecture of the city during the late 16th century.

The map is not only significant for its historical and cartographic value but also as a piece of art. Hoefnagel's meticulous approach to the illustration of buildings, streets, and natural features provides a rich visual record of Claudiopolis, contributing to our understanding of the city's historical geography. The "Map of Claudiopolis" stands as an exemplary piece within the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," which itself remains a monumental achievement in the mapping of cities across the world during the late Renaissance period.
