English abstract

This article (as part of a pair on the changing conceptions of the Mediterranean) focuses on Strabo's integration of the inner and outer worlds - the Mediterranean and outer Ocean as treated separately by Posidonius. For Strabo the Mediterranean is the epitome of civilisation by contrast with a barbarian periphery and the battle against Mediterranean pirates is assumed to be over. Strabo constructs this conceptual contrast within a single framework of a united Roman world, turning the world inside out and relegating barbarians to the edges, in the ultimate Augustan success story.
