The Stadiasmus Maris Magni (
Ancient Greek: Σταδιασμός ήτοι περίπλους της μεγάλης θαλάσσης) is an
ancient Romanperiplus or guidebook detailing the ports sailors encounter on the shores of the
Mediterranean Sea.[1] The stadiasmus provides distances, sailing directions and descriptions of specific ports.[2] It was written in
Ancient Greek and survives in fragments. The work was written by an anonymous author and is dated to the second half of the
third century AD.[3] The most complete Greek text together with a
Latin translation was published in 1855 by
Karl Müller as part of his work Geographi Graeci Minores.[4]
