Despite the scant evidence for the creation of both a practical and a mental map of the imperial world, geography seems to have been a matter of some concern in Late Roman civilization: the 'democratization of culture' and the progress of information systems seems to have produced a deeper sensitivity for geography.2 Geographical texts and maps were a part of education, as is demonstrated by Eumenius' famous speech in support of the restoration of the school of the Maenianae in Autun (297/298).3 Closing his speech, Eumenius evokes the representations of "separate regions": 1 This paper is a sort of prequel of Giusto Traina, "Mapping the World under Theodosius II," in Theodosius II. Rethinking the Roman Empire in Late Antiquity, ed. Christopher Kelly (Cambridge, Eng., 2013), pp. 115-171. In some points, I reconsider what I have already expressed, but in a less systematic form, in Giusto Traina, "Geografia dell'impero," in Enciclopedia costantiniana.
