Abstract:
This paper places the concept of ‘common sense geography’ as developed by the
members of Topoi research group C-5 within the context of ancient geographical
literature. For the first time, a consistent model of arranging and
classifying Greek and Roman geographical texts from a historical perspective
is presented.
