Description: This lovely little map of Corinthia, Sicyonia and Achaia, in the northern Peloponnesus, Ancient Greece, was prepared by M. Barbie de Bocage, after D'Anville, for the 1785 Travels of Anacharsis. Anacharsis was a Scythian philosopher who travelled from his homeland on the northern shores of the Black Sea to Athens in the early 6th century BCe.
