Ancient Geography: New Discoveries and Perspectives
Section 32, American Philological Association Annual Meeting 2007
San Diego Mariott Hotel and Marina, San Diego, U.S.A.
Saturday, 6 January 2006, 8:30 - 11:00 a.m.
Richard J. A. Talbert, Organizer
Ancient geography is gaining fresh attention from multiple perspectives, and the panelists reflect aspects of this important activity. Brodersen and Knapp discuss the text about Iberia by Artemidorus and accompanying map, preserved on a papyrus first fully revealed in 2006. Shipley presents a long overdue
initiative for an English translation and commentary on the “Minor Greek Geographers.” Talbert promotes a culturally more sensitive approach to the land portion of the “Antonine Itinerary,” and sketches some consequences. Elliott demonstrates a project which links scholarship and digital technology to create an online workspace for updating the Barrington Atlas and enhancing its value.
