This dimension names the geographic scope a historical era actually covers, worldwide, regional or a single civilization. Wikipedia notes that periodization involves "categorizing the past into discrete, quantified, and named blocks of time for the purpose of study or analysis," blocks that can be drawn as broadly or as narrowly as the historian needs. Browsing this way collects every era that shares the same geographic scope.
