Soleto Map The Soleto Map is a possibly ancient map, which depicts Salento on a small piece of ostrakon derived from a terracotta vase.〔Academic article on it: (Ancient World Mapping Center - A New Ancient Map? )〕 However, while the ostrakon is undoubtedly ancient, doubts have been raised about the age of the map. ==Background== The map was discovered in Soleto (southern Italy) by Belgian archaeologist Thierry van Compernolle of Montpellier University on August 21, 2003.〔Newspaper article on the discovery of the map:(Telegraph - Archaeologists find western world's oldest map )〕 The map itself dates back to 500 BC and contains letters derived from a Greek script. The languages expressed on the map are both Greek and Messapian. Moreover, the Soleto Map describes the city of Taranto (called Taras), as well as other cities of Salento such as Soleto, Leuca, Ugento, and Otranto. The map went on public display in 2005 at the Archaeological National Museum of Taranto.
