Greek and Roman maps

"In Greek and Roman Maps, O.A.W. Dilke follows the development of map-making skills, beginning in Babylonia and Egypt, through the contribution of Greek scientists and Roman administrators and surveyors, to the Age of Discovery. He provides examples of the full range of Greek and Roman maps, including town and building plans, itineraries and road maps, sea itineraries, and maps in art form."--Jacket.
