MONATH, PETER CONRAD: DALMATIAN COAST AND SERBIA

The map whose original title reads "Croatia maritima, Dalmatiae pars et pars Serviae" depicts Croatia in the late Middle Ages. On the map, Dalmatian Croatia, before the Turkish occupation of Bosnia, reaches deep in the interior and its northern border follows the mountain ridge of Plješivica, Osječenica and Klekovača. The entire lower half of the map features a spectacular view of the Adriatic Sea with a mermaid and river ridge with a symbolic mythical creature reminiscent of Neptune.
