Roman Geographies of the Nile

Beschreibung

The River Nile fascinated the Romans and appeared in maps, written descriptions, philosophical texts, poems and landscape paintings. This book examines these representations and their interdependence. It thereby proposes a new approach to the study of ancient geography, providing an accessible introduction to the field for a variety of audiences.
