| MARCIANUS | |
| A Greek geographer, who lived at Heraclea in Bithynia. With the aid of the best sources of information from Hanno and Scylax down to Ptolemaeus, he compiled, about 400 A.D., a description of the Western and Eastern ocean in two books, not completely preserved. It is of particular importance for ancient geography, as the distances in stadia are given. | |
