Synopsis

Von Der Lage Der Welt, originally written by Pomponius Mela, offers a fascinating glimpse into the geographical understanding of the ancient Roman world. This historical text, presented with annotations by Johann C. Dietz, details Mela's descriptions of various regions, peoples, and natural phenomena as known during the first century AD. While not always accurate by modern standards, Mela's work provides invaluable insights into the Roman worldview and their perception of the world beyond their expanding empire. His geographical treatise is more than just a list of places; it reveals the Roman mindset, their values, and their engagement with the known and unknown world. This edition invites readers to explore the historical context and enduring legacy of Pomponius Mela's geographical insights.
