"Archaeological Walk III" Collection.
A geographer and traveler, contemporary with Emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD, with a very solid classical education, Pausanias was familiar with the great ancient texts, but also with the scholarly literature of his century. He explored Greece, Macedonia, Italy, Asia Minor, Syria and part of Africa before settling in Rome around 174. It was there that he wrote his work in ten books, which he called Description of Greece Or Periegesis .
Travel diary of a tireless traveler, this Description of Greece is a true tourist guide, but above all a historical and even more so a mythological guide. Even in the most isolated regions of Greece, the geographer is fascinated by all sorts of picturesque and primitive images of the Gods, holy relics and many other sacred and mysterious objects.
