Atlas of ancient & classical geography

An approachable companion for anyone diving into ancient history, this atlas brings the distant landscapes of Greece, Italy, Egypt and beyond to vivid life. By placing detailed, zoom‑friendly maps alongside the scholarly notes, it lets listeners instantly picture the terrain that shaped battles, migrations and mythic journeys, turning abstract names into concrete places.

The edition carefully aligns its index with the map numbers, offering clear latitude and longitude references while explaining the historic use of both Greenwich and Ferro grids. It also smooths over spelling variations—showing, for example, how “Hadrumetum” and “Hydrea” appear in different sources—so readers of Herodotus, Livy, Grote or Gibbon can move fluidly between text and chart. Whether tracing the Ionic colonization of Asia Minor or visualising the sweep of Roman Italy, the atlas serves as a reliable guide for exploring the ancient world’s geography.
