Perhaps, the way that I refer to the Rosettes page as a map has caused some confusion. I tend to now, more precisely, to describe it as a "map of a journey" as I don't view some parts of the page as being exactly part of the map. For example, I wouldn't really describe the central rosette as being part of the map, but rather part of the overall theme of the page as I have made clear in my annotated image of the page. Nevertheless, I think on balance it makes sense to describe the page as a whole as a map as it was not unusual for maps of that period or from other periods to contain non-map like aspects within them. And I think that calling it a map makes clear the essential core function of the page.
