Abstract
Rivers have played an important and informative role in the study of ancient imperial ideology. They have more to contribute to this, but this paper argues that this is not only through their ‘top-down’deployment of a scientific understanding of geography. Ancient planners engaged with local classifications and representations dialectically, involving the subject in the formation of an imperial geography. Religious discourses and the practices of commerce were among the media through which these dialogues were developed.
