There is also Ptolemy, and editions of Strabo or Herodotus usually come with a sketch of their world-view. Ancient maps are a tricky subject because only one or two survives, though: some have argued that the emperors tried to get control of all the best maps and loaned them out sparingly for fear of revolt.

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have
a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.
