Description
The map is titled "ORBIS TERRARUM post proelium Corupedinse," which translates to "The World after the Battle of Corupedium." This battle, which took place in 281 BC in Lydia, was the final encounter of the Wars of the Diadochi, fought between the armies of Lysimachus and Seleucus, two of Alexander the Great's successors. The outcome led to the establishment of the Seleucid Empire's dominance over Anatolia.
Features that make this map interesting:
1. **Historical Transition**: The map captures a moment of transition after Alexander the Great's empire was divided, marking the end of the Wars of the Diadochi and the beginning of the Hellenistic period in earnest.
2. **Geographical Coverage**: It spans a vast area covering the territories impacted by Alexander's campaigns and their subsequent division among his generals.
3. **Inset Maps**: The map includes inset maps of regions and cities of historical significance during the Hellenistic period, such as Rhodes, Sparta, and Antioch.
4. **Political Boundaries**: The delineation of political boundaries reflects the division of Alexander's empire into the realms controlled by his successors.
5. **Military History**: It provides a geographical context for understanding the military movements and territorial changes resulting from the Diadochi's conflicts.
6. **Latin Nomenclature**: The use of Latin reflects the scholarly approach of the period when the map was created, catering to the educational and research needs of the time.
7. **Topographical Features**: It details the topography of the region, including mountain ranges, rivers, and plains that would have influenced the outcome of the battle.
This map is from the "Spruner-Menke Atlas Antiquus," created by Karl Spruner von Merz and edited by Theodorus Menke. The atlas is known for its detailed and historically accurate maps of ancient geographies, used extensively for educational purposes in the 19th century.
The period depicted on the map was crucial for shaping the political and cultural landscape of the Hellenistic world, influencing the development of the cultures and conflicts that would play out over the centuries in these regions.

Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
