Storia del mondo antico in 25 esplorazioni

[Machine translation] The book recounts geographical explorations in the ancient world, over a period from the 7th century BC to the 2nd century AD, divided by continent (Africa, Asia, Europe, America), taking as an observation point the Mediterranean, in order to also include the explorations conducted by peoples other than Greeks and Romans (Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Egyptians, Nasamons...). Through today's geographical knowledge and the comparison with subsequent geographical explorations, from the late Middle Ages to the contemporary age, an attempt is made to reconstruct the reliable aspects of the ancient stories related to these explorations, distinguishing them from the clearly fantastic ones, trying to provide a coherent picture of the explorations and the parallel progress of ancient geographical and scientific knowledge.
