Biography
Strabo ( STRAY-bo; Greek: Στράβων, romanized: Strábōn) was a Greek geographer who was born in Asia Minor and lived from 64 or 63 BC to c. 24 AD. He is best known for his work Geographica, which presented a descriptive history of people and places from different regions of the world known during his lifetime. Additionally, Strabo authored historical works, but only fragments and quotations of these survive in the writings of other authors.
