The Map of Rome from "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" is a notable historical artwork created by Joris Hoefnagel, a Flemish artist, miniaturist, and cartographer. This map is part of the sixth volume of the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," which is considered one of the most important works in the history of urban cartography. The "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," or "Cities of the World," was edited by Georg Braun and largely engraved by Franz Hogenberg, but the Rome map is attributed to Hoefnagel, who contributed to the latter volumes of the work.

Published in 1572, the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" was the first systematic city atlas, providing a comprehensive collection of bird's-eye view maps and illustrations of cities around the world. Hoefnagel's Map of Rome stands out for its intricate detail and artistic quality, offering a unique perspective of the city during the late 16th century. It showcases Rome's urban layout, architecture, and important landmarks, reflecting the city's status as a center of culture, religion, and historical significance.

The map is not only a valuable historical document but also a testament to the skill and artistry of Hoefnagel, who was known for his detailed and accurate representations of cities and landscapes. His work on the Map of Rome captures the grandeur of the city and serves as an important resource for understanding urban development during the Renaissance period.

As a piece of the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," the Map of Rome contributes to the atlas's legacy as a milestone in cartography and urban documentation. The atlas itself had a profound influence on the way cities were viewed and represented in maps, and it remains a subject of study for historians, geographers, and art historians interested in the evolution of city mapping and early modern urbanism.
