Description: Caption: ".mw-parser-output .smallcaps{font-variant:small-caps}Fig. 2.—The Globe of Crates of Mallus." An illustration of the globe demonstrated by Crates in Rome, displaying the oecumene (the known world of Europe, Asia, and Cissaharan Africa), perioeci (the unknown land hypothesized to lie on the other side of the Northern Hemisphere), antoeci (the unknown land hypothesized to lie on the other side of the equator, inaccessible owing to the presumed impossible heat), and antipodes (the unknown land hypothesized to lie on the opposite side of the world, likewise inaccessible). The caption describes it as "Fig. 2", but it is actually the third figure in the article.
