Constructing and Representing Territory in Late Medieval and Early Modern Europe
"Inspired by ideas from political geographers, this book explores the layered and constantly changing meanings of territory in late medieval and early modern Europe before cartography and state formation turned boundaries and territories into more fixed (but still changeable) geographical entities."

So the satire pamphlet came up with a different reading of this Latin message, and it suggests the reading of VICI MALUM as
"Vici Maximilianum" (see the image). And this means "I have conquered Maximilian". Take this Habsburg Europe, be warned! #earlymodern #skystorians -
The longer message was complex and interwoven into a story of prognostication in #earlymodern print.
