In this research we investigate the work produced in the beginning of the Roman Empire entitled Strabo’s Geography (64 BC – 24 AD). We analyze the spatial construction presented in the seventeenth and last book of the work of the Greek historian and geographer from Asia Minor, a section in which the spaces that constituted the third part of the inhabited and known orb in Antiquity, that is, ancient Africa, are described. Using Timothy Ingold’s (2000; 2015) notions of landscape and weather-world as theoretical foundations and the translation of khora as territory, we identified the discursive strategies and elements that characterize the territories of Egypt, Ethiopia and Libya that resulted in the construction of African landscapes. For this, we performed the historical critique of the Strabo’s Geography and submitted the XVII book to the categorical analysis proposed from the content analysis by
Laurence Bardin (2011). Therefore, we developed an understanding of how the author-work discursively constructed, from his perspective of the world and the geographic description of the territories, a series of Egyptian, Ethiopian and Libyan landscapes that were articulated in a conception of the inhabited world, known and integrated in the context of Roman Imperialism.
