Giulio, just one more query: could you please be so kind as to explain, in your own words, without referring to other sources or text, in a few lines, the relation - obscure to me - between the name Antofagasta in Chile and the "mapping" of the Tropic of Capricorn supposed to be made under August ruler? In which way the position of Antofagasta at (around) the latitude of the Tropic of the Capricorn is a proof (or a part of the proof) of the accomplishment of the task by Roman surveyors? vladimiro P.S.: if Maphisters are bothered (has Peter anything to say?) by the discussion you may also reply privately.
