Geographie in der antiken Welt

In ancient times, there were few and simple technical tools which could be used for navigation. Nevertheless, people have discovered that the earth is round. How could they estimate their size? How could military leaders like Alexander the Great lead their armies over thousands of kilometers in completely unknown parts of the world? Or how could merchants and settlers find new places? With her book Daniela Dueck provides the reader with an overview of the geographical knowledge of this period.
