The detail image \u2013 boxed in red on the image of the full map \u2013 shows the Baltic Sea with North on the left, and the label \u201cLetoini pagani,\u201d which certain Lithuanian historians have translated as \u201cLithuanian pagans\u201d. This phrase refers to Lettish\/Latvian pagans, not only because the labels on the map just below [or West] say \u201cestonia\u201d and \u201clivonia.\u201d In addition, at the time of this map&#8217;s publication, the nearly hundred-year-old Livonian Crusade of 1198-1290 had just ended, deserving the labeling of Latvian pagans, while the Lithuanian Crusade of 1283\u20131422 was just beginning.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
