Les Routes De La Navigation Antique: Itineraires En Mediterranee
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
In French: The Mediterranean was the centre of ancient civilization. Products, people, ideas, economic, social and political models passed through it. But the sea is not a simple medium. It changes with the seasons, with hazards and shortcomings, and with the knowledge of men, which make it alternately repulsive or attractive, make it an aid or an enemy, an open door or a barrier. The routes, which are neither traced nor marked, are the product of a complex alchemy where natural conditions, technology, empirical knowledge and commercial rules mix. Determining the precise routes taken by navigators, their seasonal variations, and the times necessary for their journeys are the fruit of historical geography. These rhythms of trade which formed the fabric of the ancient Mediterranean economy founded the representation of the world of the Ancients. A journey through the space-time of ancient navigation gives the measurements of the sea transmitted to ancient geographers by the experience of sailors. Some fading of back cover.
