Definition

  • Strabo, born in Amaseia, was a Greek historian and philosopher and one of the most important ancient geographers. As the author of Geographica, a 17-volume treatise that has come down to the present almost complete and is a fundamental source of information on the history of geography and cartography of that period, he played an important role in the development of early geography.
