This antique map, created in 1665, is titled ‘Gothia’. Gothia translates to ‘Götaland’ in modern Swedish, which is one of the three main regions of Sweden. In the early 17th Century, Sweden was a major European power and had expanded its territory to include parts of modern-day Finland and Estonia. It was also engaged in a long-standing conflict with Denmark over control of the southern Scandinavian peninsula. Sweden’s economy was dominated by agriculture and mining, particularly of iron ore. The central locations of Copenhagen, Jönköping, and Växjö were important trading centres for the region. The map may show the borders of Sweden, including its coastline and neighbouring countries such as Denmark, but further details cannot be specified without viewing the map itself.
