“Strabo was an Asiatic Greek of Amasia in Pontus and an educated citizen of the Roman empire, who visited Rome in 44 BC at age 19 or 20, apparently for purposes of education. He studied under various teachers, including Tyrannion, a captive educated Greek and private tutor, who also instructed Cicero’s two sons. Strabo’s sole surviving work is Γεωγραφικά (Geography), an encyclopaedia of geographical knowledge, consisting of seventeen books written in Greek.”
