The Ptolemy world map is a map of the known world to Western society in the 2nd century CE. It was based on the description contained in Ptolemy s book Geographia Ptolemy Geographia , written c. 150. Although authentic maps have never been found, the Geographia contains thousands of references to various parts of the old world, with coordinates for most, which allowed cartographers to reconstruct Ptolemy s world view when the manuscript was re discovered around 1300 CE. Perhaps the most significant contribution of Ptolemy and his maps is the first uses of longitudinal and latitudinal lines and the specifying of terrestrial locations by celestial observations. When his Geographia was translated from Greek language Greek into Arabic language Arabic in the 9th century and subsequently Latin translations of the 12th century into Latin in Western Europe at the beginning of the 15th century, the idea of a global coordinate system revolutionized Geography in medieval Islam medieval Islamic and European geographical thinking and put it upon a scientific and numerical basis.

Julius Caesar . Commentaries on the Gallic Wars De Bello Gallico . IV 10. ref Ptolemy places the Mediomatrici south of the Treviri. Divodurum modern Metz , France was their capital. The diocese of Metz represents their territory, which was accordingly west of the Vosges . But Caesar makes the Mediomatrici extend to the Rhine, and consequently they had in his time the country between the Vosges and the Rhine. And this agrees with Strabo , who says that the Sequani and Mediomatrici inhabit the Rhine, among whom are settled the Triboci, a Germanic tribes Germanic nation which had crossed over from their own country. It appears then that part of the territory of the Mediomatrici had been occupied by Germans before Caesar s time and that after Caesar s time the German tribes, Nemetes , Vangiones , and Caeracates occupied the Gallic side of the Rhine, north of the Triboci as far as Mainz , and that north of Mainz was the territory of the Treviri, we may infer that all these tribes were intruders on the original territory of the Mediomatrici.
