There has been much archaeological research, especially at the perimeters of the Greek world, and a more accurate understanding of ancient geography and geographers has emerged. The topic is therefore overdue a fresh and sustained treatment. In offering precisely that, Duane Roller explores important topics like knowledge of the world in the Bronze Age and Archaic periods; Greek expansion into the Black Sea and the West; the Pythagorean concept of the earth as a globe; the invention of geography as a discipline by Eratosthenes; Polybios the explorer; Strabo's famous Geographical; the travels of Alexander the Great; Roman geography; Ptolemy and late antiquity; and the cultural reawakening of antique geographical knowledge in the Renaissance, including Columbus' use of ancient sources.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Boisomogro BD","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":67911702544578,"sku":null,"price":320.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":67911702577346,"sku":null,"price":400.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0762\/6588\/1794\/files\/91QzVto2tOL._SL1500.webp?v=1792644263","url":"https:\/\/www.boisomogrobd.com\/products\/ancient-geography-the-discovery-of-the-world-in-classical-greece-and-rome","provider":"Boisomogro BD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
