O knihe
This is the first study in over 50 years of the Greek and Roman civilizations' explorations through the "Pillars of Herakles into the Atlantic."
Although the Greco-Roman world was centered on the Mediterranean, and classical scholarship often confined to these topographical boundaries marked by the pillars themselves, from c700BC into the Roman period a series of explorers were to discover the entire Atlantic coast, north to Iceland, Scandinavia and the Baltic, and south into the African tropics. With the Carthaginians' own discoveries - including the British Isles, the coast of Africa and the Atlantic islands - the world of classical antiquity reached from Iceland to Vietnam.
In this long-overdue project, Duane W Roller chronicles a detailed and unique account of these early pioneers and their discoveries and in doing so contributes a fascinating chapter to the history of exploration.
