Online Map Supplement to Duane Roller’s new English translation of Strabo’s Geography.
Cambridge University Press Publishes The Geography of Strabo
Duane W. Roller’s remarkable new English translation of Strabo’s Geography is now available from Cambridge University Press ( ISBN: 9781107038257; e-book ISBN: 9781139950374). To accompany it, the Center has produced a seamless, interactive online map which is accessible free: http://awmc.unc.edu/awmc/applications/strabo. The map is built on the Antiquity À-la-carte interface,
and has immense coverage because it plots all the locatable
geographical and cultural features mentioned in the 17 books of this
fundamentally important Greek source – over 3,000 of them, stretching
from Ireland to the Ganges delta and deep into north Africa. In the e-version
of the translation, the gazetteer offers embedded hyperlinks to each
toponym’s stable URI within the digital module, making it possible to
move directly between Strabo’s text and its cartographic realization
