Along the way, he faces numerous challenges and adventures, including encounters with gods and mythical creatures. Aeneas travels to various locations, including Carthage, where he meets Queen Dido, and eventually arrives in Italy, where he fulfills his destiny by founding the city of Rome.Throughout his journey, Aeneas is guided and protected by the gods, particularly his mother, Venus, who helps him navigate the dangers he faces. The voyage of Aeneas is not only a physical journey but also a metaphorical one, symbolizing the struggles and triumphs of the Trojan people and the eventual establishment of Rome as a great civilization.The map by Nicolas de Fer likely visualizes key locations and highlights significant events from Aeneas's journey as described in Virgil's poem.Mapmaker: Nicolas de Fer (1646-1720) was a notable French cartographer and geographer who lived during the late 17th and early 18th centuries.
