Geography

Geography is a work by Ptolemy, written in Ancient Greek around 150 AD. It is a treatise on cartography and a kind of atlas and place list, bringing together the geographical knowledge available in the Roman world of the time. Written in Alexandria, it revises earlier material and presents it through a more systematic approach to maps and locations.

It suits readers interested in the history of mapping, ancient science, and the way the classical world organized space, cities, and regions. This is not a modern narrative book so much as a foundational text for understanding how geographical knowledge was gathered and arranged in antiquity. If you are drawn to old atlases, technical writing, and the origins of cartography, this is a natural fit.
