Abstract
Unfortunately no map of the Roman world has yet been discovered that has survived directly from Claudius Ptolemaeus' work, conducted in Alexandria c.a.d. 120–160. However many maps have been produced from the data (8,000 geographic reference locations) contained in his monumental Geographia for the discovery of which we are indebted to Maximus Planudes of Constantinople c.a.d. 1295. The Geographia text and these maps vary in style from mainly Greek and Latin manuscript sets (codices) through a variety of printed and reproduced versions from the late fifteenth century even up to the present day.
