This antique map, created in 1665, is titled ‘Molvccae Insvlae Celeberrimae’, which translates to ‘Famous Moluccan Islands’. The map depicts the Indonesian archipelago in the early 17th century, a time when it was the world’s largest producer of spices such as cloves and nutmeg. The islands were highly sought after by European powers, leading to wars and conflicts for control over the lucrative trade. The map offers a glimpse into the geography and topography of the region, as well as the various trading posts and settlements established by the Dutch, Portuguese, and Spanish. Ternate, Soa Sio, and Bula are located centrally on the map, highlighting their importance in the spice trade. Overall, this map provides a fascinating historical perspective on Indonesia and its role in the global economy of the time.
