Professor Christopher Krebs has been recently awarded the AJP Best Article Prize for 2018 by The American Journal of Philology for his article “The World’s Measure: Caesar’s Geographies of Gallia and Britannia in Their Contexts and as Evidence of His World Map.”
He situates the geographical descriptions of Gallia and Britannia within the techniques of Roman surveying and Greek geographical writing to reveal two largely different intentions: the first to organize a territory in such a way as to ready it for Roman control, the second as a contribution to a map of the oikoumene.
Congrats Prof. Krebs!
