Ora maritima ("The Sea Coast") is a poem written by
circumnavigation of Africa by Hanno (c. 500 BC).[6]
Ora maritima includes reference to the islands of Ierne and Oestrymnides of Brittany.[2] The work was dedicated to Sextus Claudius Petronius Probus. It also mentions the presumably mythical city of Cypsela in the Catalonian coast.[Verse 521]
The whole text derives from a single manuscript source, used for the editio princeps published at Venice in 1488.[8]
