Ancient Geography, History of Geography, Politics, Political PropagandaAbstract
During graeco-roman antiquity, geography has been a knowledge of huge utility for the political concerns. By one hand, it could supply the political groups with the kind of information useful for activities such as trading, war and territorial administration. On the other hand, it also could be useful in this period as long as geographical representation could aid on the built of a political propaganda and on the built of a good public image of the politicians by associating them with the dimension of the territories under their control, as a result of a personal deed. In the present article, we presented a historical exposition of how, during the context of graeco-roman antiquity, geography attended the political demands, arguing that the relation between geographical knowledge and politics is a chronologically cross-cutting time theme and, thus, can be found under several historical contexts, fact that, we believe, must put the researchers of the History of Geography on the pursue of how this kind of relation may have happened in other historical moments.
