Introduction: what we talk about when we talk about Roman geography; 1. A world full of maps? Public 'chorographies' in late Republican and early Imperial Rome; 2. The dismembered Nile: the geography of triumphs and monuments; 3. Gazing on the Nile: the domestication of the river; 4. Creatio ex Nilo: metaphysics and the unknowable river; 5. This river is a jumbled line, perhaps? (4): journeys and lines; 6. Triumph and disaster: rendering the river in verse; Afterword: the many Niles of the Elder Pliny.
