Island

Insula N.N.

Listen to the story

Insula N.N. is not an ancient name at all but a placeholder: insula is Latin for island, and the two letters stand for a name that is not known. The map shows an island among the Mediterranean islands, yet no label was ever written beside it, so it remains simply an island without a name, and no modern place has been matched to it.
