"Danubius, fluvius Europae maximus, a fontibus ad ostia, cum omnibus fluminibus, from utroque latere to illium defluentibus"
. Translated:
"Danube, Europe's largest river, from the sources to the mouth, with all the rivers flowing into them from both sides."
The pictures show on the left the emperor Ferdinand III. and on the right the Turkish sultan. The Danube connects the Holy Roman Empire with the Turkish Empire, the raised swords separate both.
