A delightful landscape of Talbert's studies displayed as a collection of important milestones in modern scholarship. This academic journey through part of Talbert's rich and brilliant career is joined by Julius Caesar, Pliny the Elder, anonymous Roman soldiers and travellers and many others. Mental and real maps intertwine with Roman spatial awareness and geographical worldview and result in a coherent array of intellectual discussions.
