Strabo of Amasia, a Greek geographer of the Augusto-Tiberian
period, observed the Roman world of his time. He collected his
observations in his magnum opus, the Geography, which he described
as a 'Kolossourgia', a colossal statue of a work. This term
reflects not only the work's size in seventeen books, but also its
multi-faceted nature, composed of many different elements like the
detailing on a statue. In this 2005 volume an international team of
Strabo scholars explores those details, discussing the cultural,
political, historical and geographical questions addressed in the
Geography. The collection offers a number of different approaches
to the study of Strabo, from traditional literary and historical
perspectives to newer material and feminist readings. These diverse
themes and approaches inform each other to provide a wide-ranging
exploration of Strabo's work, making the book essential reading for
students of ancient history and ancient geography.
