Description and Table of Contents
Description
Old geographic names often shed light on the linguistic and cultural conditions of the "Dark Ages" and are of high value to the field of archaeology. This study from the year 1950, published here for the first time, offers a meticulous collection of all names (especially, landmarks and rivers) reported by Greek and Latin writers. In the appendix, Hermann Reichert illustrates the merits of the Alexandrine geographer Klaudios Ptolemaios (2nd century).
