摘要:Claudius Ptolemy "Geographia" is a fundamental geographic and cartographic work of the2nd century A.D. which influenced European cartography of the Renaissance. Ptolemy can beconsidered as one of the first who gave a "concrete" cartographic evidence to the region ofcentral Europe a part of which is covered by today's territory of the Czech Republic. In thispaper, we deal with the study of the correspondence between coordinates of geographic placepositions given in "Geographia" for the region of "Great Germania" and their depiction ondrawn maps, comparing ancient Ptolemaic representations with recent maps which recallPtolemy's toponymy and identification of ancient toponyms with their modern counterparts
