context_page_description: Sarmatia Asiatica was the name used in Ptolemy's Geography for a part of "Sarmatia", a large region which included parts of Europe and Asia. Another part was Sarmatia Europea, which was situated further west. European Sarmatia largely corresponds to what was later known as Grand Duchy of Lithuania; later, Intermarium; and nowadays the Three Seas Initiative. Sarmatia was present in most maps of the region from the time of Ptolemy until the end of the 18th century.
  Maciej Miechowita used "Sarmatia" for the Black Sea region and further divided it into Sarmatia Europea, which included East Central Europe, and Sarmatia Asiatica. Filippo Ferrari also divided the two.
