About the book

"The Geography of Strabo, Volume 3 (of 3)" by Strabo is an encyclopedia of geographical knowledge written in Greek in the late first century BC or early first century AD. This monumental work consists of seventeen books that circuit the earth, combining physical geography with political details of the Roman Empire's known world. Strabo, an educated Greek citizen of Rome, traveled extensively and drew from extensive library research to document continents, nations, cities, and natural features. The work addresses statesmen and general readers alike, focusing on what is "noble and great" rather than petty details.
