Before Columbus there was Eratosthenes: 'inventor' of the discipline of geography as it is known today. There was Alexander the Great: the man who sought to reach the very ends of the known world and whose empire spanned three continents. And there was Strabo: author of the Geographica, a 17-volume encyclopaedia of geographical knowledge which expounded the definition, history and mathematics of geography. In this, the first major study of ancient geography and geographers to be published in English for over 60 years, Duane W. Roller offers a comprehensive account of these, and the many other, ancient pioneers and the frontiers that defined their world. Ranging from the Bronze Age to Late Antiquity, Ancient Geography: The Discovery of the World in Classical Greece and Rome is the definitive guide to how the triumphs and the errors of antiquity laid the foundations for millennia of voyaging and exploration.

Ancient Greek geographical writing is represented not just by the surviving works of the well-known authors Strabo, Pausanias, and Ptolemy, but also by many other texts dating from the Archaic to the Late Antique period. Most of these texts are, however, hard for non-specialists to find, and many have never been translated into English. This volume, the work of an international team of experts, presents the most important thirty-six texts in new, accurate translations. In addition, there are explanatory notes and authoritative introductions to each text, which offer a new understanding of the individual writings and demonstrate their importance: no longer marginal, but in the mainstream of Greek literature and science. The book includes twenty-eight newly drawn maps, images of the medieval manuscripts in which most of these works survive, and a full Introduction providing a comprehensive survey of the field of Greek and Roman geography.

Not illustrated. 1830 edition. Excerpt: ... CYRENAICA. Thts territory, lying for the most part in the Turktsh Mountains. Barca, was, on account of its five cities, frequently called the Pentapolis; it was a fruitful Greek colony, extending to the great Syrtis, from the 37th to the 40th degree of east longitude. Here were the Sand-Hills of Hercules, Herculis arenosi cumuli: the rivers were mere coast streams, the most remarkable of which were the Paliurus, rising out of a lake of the same name, and the Lathon near Berenice. The inhabitants of the interior were Libyan nomads; those on the coast were Greek colonists. About B. C. 631, a colony of Greeks, in obedience to the commands of the Delphian oracle, and under the guidance of Battus, migrated from Thera, and settled here; hence the Cyrenaeans were wont to call themselves Spartans. The constitution of this colony was at first monarchical. Under Battus II. the colony was increased by the arrival of several new Greek settlers. Under Battus III. the royal power was closely clipped by Demonax of Mantinea, nothing being left to the king but his income and the priestly dignity. Under his son Arcesilaus III. the country became tributary to Persia. In B. C. 514, it received a republican constitution; and frequent wars with the neighbouring state of Carthage signalized the following period. After the death of Alexander the Great, Ptolemy the First, by the assistance of his general Ophelias, made Cyrene to be a part of the Egyptian dominion, about 321 B. C: under Ptolemy Physcon, it became an independent kingdom. The bastard son of the latter Apion finally placed Cyrene in the hands of the Romans, who incorporated it into a province with Crete. It subsequently shared the fate of Egypt. Its main produce was silphium or laser, that is to...

Brill's Companion to Ancient Geography edited by S. Bianchetti, M. R. Cataudella, H. J. Gehrke is the first collection of studies on historical geography of the ancient world that focuses on a selection of topics considered crucial for understanding the development of geographical thought. In this work, scholars, all of whom are specialists in a variety of fields, examine the interaction of humans with their environment and try to reconstruct the representations of the inhabited world in the works of ancient historians, scientists, and cartographers. Topics include: Eudoxus, Dicaearchus, Eratosthenes, Hipparchus, Agatharchides, Agrippa, Strabo, Pliny and Solinus, Ptolemy, and the Peutinger Map. Other issues are also discussed such as onomastics, the boundaries of states, Pythagorism, sacred itineraries, measurement systems, and the Holy Land.
