Along the route to Scatinavia, as described by Pliny, were unexplored islands with people who were rumoured to have ears of such extraordinary size as to cover the rest of the body, which is otherwise left naked. On neighboring islands, human beings are produced with the feet of horses, Pliny wrote. Leaving these unfamiliar lands behind, a traveller will enter the nation of the Ingaevones in Germania, where, according to Pliny, we begin to have some information upon which more implicit reliance can be placed. In this more familiar territory is a mountain range called Saevo, which stretches all the way to a large promontory called Cimbri (Cimbrorum), which ends in a gulf called Codanus. It is here, in this gulf, that the island of Scatinavia can be found.
