Metellino

Forbes and Clark Collections Visualizing Maritime History Project

Map of Metellino (also known as Lesbos) with place names in Italian, including the now capital Mitilene. Two ruins marked, one as a "Ruine antiche"; also two sites marked "Paleocastro" (Old castle), perhaps referring to the medieval castles that still stand on Lesbos. Sea monsters in the water. Eight-pointed compass rose. Italian text from book of origin on verso.
