The term '''topography''' originated in ancient [[Greece]] and continued in ancient [[Rome]], as the detailed description of a place. The [[word]] comes from the Greek [[words]] τόπος (topos, place) and γραφία (graphia, writing).  In [[classical]] [[literature]] this refers to [[writing]] about a place or places, what is now largely called 'local [[history]]'. In Britain and in Europe in general, the word topography is still sometimes used in its original sense.
