Common Scales in Military Maps from the Fortification Projects for Rome
Following the model of work on architectural plans for St. Peter’s church, this article takes Antonio da Sangallo the Younger’s fortification drawings for the Vatican Borgo and applies a scale analysis based both on the inscribed scales and real-world dimensions. The result is the specification of several scales beginning at 1:1000 for a very detailed survey of the medieval fortification to 1:2666 for Leonardo Bufalini’s map, based on Sangallo’s drawings.
