Pomponius Mela

Über den Autor

Pomponius Mela was a Roman geographer and author, known for his work "De Situ Orbis," which is one of the earliest geographical texts of the Roman Empire. His writings provide a comprehensive description of the world as it was known during his time, detailing various regions, peoples, and the geography of the Mediterranean. Mela's approach was both pragmatic and observational, as he sought to compile knowledge from various sources, including travelers and previous geographers, to present a coherent view of the world.
