Description
English: This is a fascinating 1784 color map showing the Battle of Plataea by Barbie du Bocage. The battle of Plataea occurred in 479 BC and was the last battle in the second Persian invasion of Greece. It took place near the city of Plataea in Boeotia, and was fought between an alliance of the Greek city-states, including Sparta, Athens, Corinth and Megara, and the Persian Empire of Xerxes I. The map features Mount Cithaeron, where the tide of the battle turned. Shows the motions of the army during the battle. It also notes the camp of Madonius, the Temple of Ceres, Road to Thespiae, Temple of Apollo, and other important landmarks. Includes a key in the bottom right quadrant. Prepared by M. Barbie de Bocage in 1786 to illustrate the Travels of Anarcharsis .
