About This Item
Harvard University Press, 2006 12mo (17 cm), VI, 382 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (minor shelf-wear). "Strabo (ca. 64 BCE to ca. 25 CE), an Asiatic Greek of Amasia in Pontus, studied at Nysa and after 44 BCE at Rome. He became a keen traveller who saw a large part of Italy, various near eastern regions including the Black Sea, various parts of Asia Minor, Egypt as far as Ethiopia, and parts of Greece. He was a long time in Alexandria where he no doubt studied mathematics, astronomy, and history. Strabo's historical work is lost, but his most important "Geography" in seventeen books has survived. The Loeb Classical Library edition of Strabo is in eight volumes." (from the publisher's synopsis)
