Asia East of the Ganges on Maps According to the Geography of Claudius Ptolemy

More about the book

This analysis challenges the assumption that place names in Claudius Ptolemy's geographical guide refer to regions in Malaysia, Vietnam, and China. Instead, it reveals that these maps from the late Middle Ages depict the territory of modern-day Myanmar, highlighting significant changes and continuities in settlement history and landscape.
