Orbis Terrarum

Internationale Zeitschrift fuer historische Geographie der Alten Welt / Journal of Historical Geography of the Ancient World / Revue internationale de la géographie historique du monde antique / Rivista internazionale di geografia storica del mondo antico

With Orbis Terrarum the Ernst-Kirsten-Society provides an interdisciplinary forum for research on the historical geography of classical antiquity. The spectrum is broad by design: Studies on the geographical-topographical profile may be found here as well as studies on the historical interaction between mankind and the environment, essays on the history of science or methodological studies.

Although the world of classical antiquity remains the primary focus of Orbis Terrarum, its gaze may also turn to earlier or later historical eras. Thus, historical or geographical aspects of the territory of the ancient world in earlier or later historical eras find room in Orbis Terrarum as well. This broad thematic scope is symbolized by the cosmic motif of the journalʼs logo.
