	Strabo was at work some two thousand years ago, in the early days of the Roman empire. His Geography is a description of the cultural and geo-political world of that time, as well as an account of how the physical world was then perceived. Strabo focuses on how the world of the political present emerged from the world of the political past. His interests resonate with an audience asking the same questions at the start of the third millennium. The map, representing Strabo’s conceptualisation of the northern hemisphere, was drawn by Gossellin in 1805-19 to accompany the French translation of Strabo’s Geography by Laporte du Theil, Korais and Letronne, undertaken at the request of the French emperor, Napoleon.
