F.E. Romer is Professor and Chair of the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures, East Carolina University. He is the author of numerous articles and has received awards for both his writing and teaching.
". . . Romer's book provides today's readers with a good
introduction, a fresh translation, miscellaneous notes, and helpful
indexes. It can serve as a first introduction to a minor, but
fascinating Latin writer and populizer."

"An English translation of Mela was long overdue. Now we have an
eminently satisfactory one."

"It is Mela's excitement in travel, his sense of places and of
their past, which strikes a chord with the modern reader. . . .
Romer's guidance is most productive where he encourages us to take
the author in his ancient context and allows Mela to act as our
tour guide, pointing out the wonders (and strangeness) of his
world. Precisely what makes Romer's translation of Mela both
welcome and 'fun' is the fact that the voyage of discovery takes
place in a world that looks so very different from our own."
