Ptolemy

The Geographia is Ptolemy's main work besides the Almagest. It is a compilation of what was known about the world's geography in the Roman Empire of the 2nd century. Ptolemy relied mainly on the work of an earlier geographer, Marinos of Tyre, and on gazetteers of the Roman and ancient Persian empire, but most of his sources beyond the perimeter of the Empire were unreliable. Book five is relevant for Armenians, as it contains his writings on Cilicia and Armenia, as well as the surrounding areas, many of which had Armenian populations.
