T O Map

http://www1.georgetown.edu/departments/medievalstudies/

An artistic map from the middle ages, the T O map got its name from the T shape of the continents. These maps show Europe, Africa and Asia, with Jerusalem at the cross of the T. These maps would have Asia on top with Europe on the bottom left and Africa on the bottom right. These maps often had religious symbology.
