This study is devoted to the channels through which geographic knowledge circulated in classical societies outside of textual transmission. This main issue is composed of two central questions: how, if at all, was geographic data available outside of textual transmission and in contexts in which there was no need to write or read? It explores understanding of geography among the non-elites, as opposed to scholarly and scientific geography solely in written form which was the province of a very small number of learned people.It deals with non-literary knowledge of geography, geography not derived from texts, as it was available to people, educated or not, who did not read geographic works.
In general, three groups of sources are relevant to this quest: oral communications preserved in writing; public non-textual performances; and And what could the public know of geography?
