This wonderful old map of Alexander the Great's Empire was originally published in 1731. It was created by Guillaume de L'Isle.
In this Latin map titled "Alexandri magni imperium et expeditiones", which translates to Alexander the Great's Empire and Campaigns, you can see the empire that Alexander the Great conquered from present-day Greece, to Egypt, throughout the Middle East and all the way to Afghanistan and parts of India.
Though he was only king for less than 13 years in Ancient Macedonia, Alexander the Great created a vast empire. A legendary military mind from ancient times, he was able to form one of the largest empires the world has ever seen by conquering Asia Minor, the Achaemenid Persian Empire

This map is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or you can buy it framed. The frame is a nice, simple black frame that suits most aesthetics. Please get in touch if you'd like a different frame colour or material. My frames are glazed with super-clear museum-grade acrylic (perspex/acrylite), which is significantly less reflective than glass, safer, and will always arrive in perfect condition.
