De Nîmes vers ailleurs | Expériences (en cours) de cartographie culturelle en bibliothèque Pomponius Mela Reconstruction of Pomponius Mela's world map by Konrad Miller (1898). Pomponius Mela's description of Europe (F. Nansen, 1911). Pomponius Mela, who wrote around AD 43, was the earliest Roman geographer. He was born in Tingentera (now Algeciras) and died c. His short work (De situ orbis libri III.) occupies less than one hundred pages of ordinary print. Biography[edit] Little is known of the author except his name and birthplace—the small town of Tingentera or Cingentera in southern Spain, on Algeciras Bay (Mela ii. 6, § 96; but the text is here corrupt). Geographical knowledge[edit] The general views of the De situ orbis mainly agree with those current among Greek writers from Eratosthenes to Strabo; the latter was probably unknown to Mela. The shores of Codanus sinus (southwestern Baltic Sea) in red with its many islands in green. Descriptive method[edit] Editions[edit] References[edit] Jump up ^ Tegg, Thomas (1824).

Omnes Viae: Tabula Peutingeriana - Itinerarium Romanum / Planificateur d'itinéraire FranceTopo.fr Roman Empire GDP Per Capita Map Shows That Romans Were Poorer Than Any Country in 2015 Map by the NEP-HIS Blog, found via Reddit. What a difference 2,000 years makes. The map above shows the GDP per capita in 14AD of the various provinces of the Roman Empire in 1990 PPP Dollars. This would make the average Roman in 14AD poorer than the average citizen of every single one of the world’s countries in 2015. Wondering how that’s possible? According to the World Bank, the Democratic Republic of the Congo is currently the world’s poorest nation with GDP per capita in constant 1990 PPP dollars of $766 in 2012. However, as the map above shows GDP per capita varied widely across the Empire. In contrast, the Empire’s poorest provinces were only half as wealthy, which dragged down the average. According to the United States Bureau of Economic Analysis, Delaware has the highest GDP per capita of any state at $61,183 in 2012 vs Mississippi’s much smaller $28,944 or just a little less than half as much. Politically, there have been a couple of changes since the Roman Empire: Methodology
