Katherine Jane Clarke FBA (born 13 October 1970) is a British ancient historian and academic, specialising in Greek historiography and geography.
[1] She studied literae humaniores at St John's College, Oxford, graduating with a double first Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in 1993.
[4] Her research covers the Hellenistic period and the Greeks interaction with Romans, and historians such as Strabo, Tacitus, and Polybius.
In the book, she argues that geography and geographic ideas were more important and complex in ancient historiography than hitherto realised.
W. J. Tatum and R. Alston characterised it as "essential reading" for work on Posidonius, Strabo, and Hellenistic geography.
