STRABO, ROMAN SCHOLARS | GEOGRAPHICAL THOUGHT, geo L 17

Strabo was born south of Black Sea in a Turkish town of Amesia, capital of the Barbarian kings, and supporting a large Greek population. Strabo’s main contribution was his attempt to bring together all the existing geographical knowledge in the form of a general thesis.

"There is an intimate relationship between history and geography."
" Geography is an independent subject, which aims to get people to gain knowledge of world celestial bodies, sites, oceans, fauna, flora, fruits, and every other thing seen in the terrains."
