Abstract

The article examines the multifaceted networks of identities and religious affinities in a âmerchant-geographyâ text known in Latin as the Expositio and Descriptio totius mundi et gentium. This text was originally composed in Greek in the fourth century but preserved in paraphrased Latin translations that were written centuries later. In addition to the trade and economy of the Roman Empire, the text describes the geography of Roman provinces. Both Latin translators may have been Christian, and one of them omitted many references to non-Christian cults. Lampinen shows how the original text contains valuable evidence on contemporary perceptions of geography but remains ambiguous in its views on religious identities.
