Strabo

Strabo was a Greek geographer, philosopher, and historian who lived from around 64 BC to AD 24. He is best known for his work "Geographica," a comprehensive 17-volume description of the known world at that time. Strabo's writings provided insights into the geography, cultures, and economies of various regions, blending personal observations with historical accounts. His work laid the groundwork for future geographical studies and is valued for its rich detail and systematic approach. Strabo's contributions highlight the importance of geography in understanding the world and its peoples during the classical era.
