About This Book

A sweeping ancient geographical treatise that compiles regional descriptions for an educated Roman-era audience, combining the author’s travels with reports from earlier writers. It surveys cities, coastlines, rivers, mountains, distances, political arrangements, economic resources, and local customs, and includes historical anecdotes and ethnographic observations. The text also critiques prior geographical authorities and supplies practical information useful to administrators and travelers, arranging material into a systematic sequence of books that treats each region’s physical features, settlements, and notable human activities.


LIST OF MODERN SPELLINGS OF THE TURKISH PLACE NAMES
