Here's an odd thing I picked up from St. Augustine. It's in Book XVI, Chapter 9 of "The City of God."
Apparently, the people in the middle ages believed that the heat at the Equator was so unbearable, and couldn't believe that it didn't get hotter. Therefore, they believed that the lands below the equator were virtually uninhabitable. This was believed right up until the days of Columbus, although, of course, it was only a minority position by that point. That said, in 748 AD, Pope Zachary declared belief in the antipodes heretical.
