Description

Explore the hidden ways geographic knowledge moved through the ancient world. This Routledge monograph shifts the focus away from scholarly texts to examine how people in classical Athens and Rome understood their surroundings without relying on written works. While most history focuses on the scientific geography written by a small group of learned elites, this study investigates the non-literary channels of information available to the general population. By looking at geography outside of textual transmission, this book provides a unique perspective on how both educated and non-educated individuals accessed spatial data. It addresses how geographic information was distributed and understood by those who did not have access to formal geographic writings. This research offers a deeper look into the everyday reality of ancient societies and the practical ways people navigated and perceived their world.
