Eremia Geton

region · 330 BC – 640 AD

Strabo describes the Eremia Geton ("the wasteland/desolation of the Getai") as lying between the territory of the Getai and the Pontic Sea, between the river Ister (Danube) and the river Tyras (Dniester), a region where little ancient settlement has been found. This area, subject to the rising waters of the Black Sea, may also have been referred to by the name or descriptive term "Sorsdesertus" on the Peutinger Map.
