“…126) Commenting on this passage at 7.1.4, Clarke (1997), 105 n. 75, wondered whether Strabo's references to the present war (6.4.2) and to the defeat of Varus and to the triumph of Germanicus (7.1.4) can really all be later additions (105 n. 73): "it seems impossible to conceive of the German description without these late references", without them, "the force of the description of Germany would be lost, as Strabo is making the point here that the German tribes have become known to the Romans only through a protracted series of wars" (105).…”

References in the text suggest that Strabo started writing the manuscript of the Geography in AD 17 or 18 and nished it in AD 23. Events current at that time aVect Strabo's handling of his material. Three particular instances are explored in detail. First, Strabo makes no reference to Germanicus after describing his triumph of AD 17. Germanicus was well known for his subsequent settlement of aVairs in Armenia, Cappadocia and Commagene in AD 18. Strabo mentions all three of these settlements, but does not ascribe them to any one person and thus does not mention Germanicus in connection with them. Strabo's silence re ects Tiberius'

The period from the fifth century to the eighth century witnessed massive political, social and religious change in Europe. Geographical and historical thought, long rooted to Roman ideologies, had to adopt the new perspectives of late antiquity. In the light of expanding Christianity and the evolution of successor kingdoms in the West, new historical discourses emerged which were seminal in the development of medieval historiography. Taking their lead from Orosius in the early fifth century, Latin historians turned increasingly to geographical description, as well as historical narrative, to examine the world around them. This book explores the interdependence of geographical and historical modes of expression in four of the most important writers of the period: Orosius, Jordanes, Isidore of Seville and the Venerable Bede. It offers important readings of each by arguing that the long geographical passages with which they were introduced were central to their authors' historical assumptions and arguments.
