This is a fascinating 1780 map or plan of Olympia (Olympus) in Ancient Greece. The map details the site of the ancient Olympics and notes many important buildings and structures, including the stadium, the hippodrome, the Temple of Jupiter (Zeus). This is also the place where the great Statue of Zeus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, was erected. The Alpheios River is seen near the bottom of the map. Prepared by M. Barbie de Bocage in 1780 to illustrate the Travels of Anacharsis.

Anacharsis was a Scythian philosopher who travelled from his homeland on the northern shores of the Black Sea to Athens in the early 6th century BCe. Apparently he made a great impression on the Greeks, who considered him a forthright, outspoken 'barbarian. He is considered a forerunner of the Cynics.
