Sarmatia
(Redirected from
Sarmatia Europea
)Sarmatia was a region of the
Eurasian steppe inhabited by the Sarmatians
.
East Central Europe, and Sarmatia Asiatica.[1] Filippo Ferrari
(1551–1626) also divided the two.
Sarmatia Asiatica
Sarmatia Asiatica ("Asiatic Sarmatia") was the name used in Ptolemy's Geography (c. 150) for a part of Sarmatia, a large region which included parts of Europe and Asia.
In modern times, geographers had various views on its extent:
- A. Arrowsmith (1832): [3]
- A. Picquot (1826) described it as bordering Scythia and the Iberia to the south, and Palus Maeotis and Cimmerian Bosphorus to the west.[4]
Sarmatia Europea
Another part was Sarmatia Europea ("European Sarmatia"),[5] which was situated further west. European Sarmatia largely corresponds to what was later known as Grand Duchy of Lithuania; later, Intermarium; and nowadays the Three Seas Initiative. Sarmatia was present in most maps of the region from the time of Ptolemy until the end of the 18th century.
- A. Arrowsmith (1832): [3]
