• Resumen

  • Classical antiquity, geography dealt exclusively with land occupiedby humans. Strabo’s colossal Geography follows this anthropocentric tradition. Studies have explored Strabo’s references to cities either as cultural and political phenomena or through cases of specific outstanding poleis.This article examines the spatial gaps between these inhabited regions. Todo so, it identifies uninhabited sites in their hidden or less-noticed appearances in the Geography while asking two central questions: (1) What is themeaning of “empty” spaces in Strabo’s work? and (2) How does Strabo treatthese regions of the world?
