The third map, which has a title identical to the original, shows on the same geographical basis the administrative division of the country before the fall of the Western Roman Empire, according to the works of Roman historians. Monath is much more restrained in decoration of this map, because he needed room to show Pannonia and Dacia, so the gorgeous view is placed in the lower left corner of the map, on the territory of Italy, and shows the progress of the Roman army.
