Question

How helpful would Ptolemy’s map be to the Ancient Romans if they were planning to extend their trade routes into sub‐Saharan Africa?

Answer 1

Sub-Saharan Africa was explored by Roman expeditions between 19 BCE - 90 CE, most likely in an effort to locate the sources of valuable trade goods and establish routes to bring them to the seaports on the coast of North Africa, thereby minimizing disruption in trade caused by conflicts among indigenous tribes and kingdoms.
