The complete nautical chart of the Pizzigani brothers (1367)

1367

One of the oldest signed nautical charts (portolans) of Europe, drawn in Venice by the Pizzigani brothers in 1367. It covers the Mediterranean, the Black Sea and the Atlantic, with cities marked by their rulers' flags — among them the white five-cross banner over Tbilisi, regarded as the forerunner of Georgia's modern flag (see the detail).
