The Ptolemaic Map refers to a series of maps created by the ancient Greek geographer Claudius Ptolemy in the 2nd century AD. These maps were based on a combination of his own observations and earlier works, aiming to represent the known world of that time. Ptolemy's maps introduced a systematic approach to cartography, including the use of latitude and longitude for precise location. Ptolemy's work, titled Geographia, included detailed descriptions of various regions and their coordinates. His maps influenced later cartographers and were used throughout the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, shaping the way people understood geography and navigation for centuries.
