| Summary | "The Geography of Strabo, Volume 3 (of 3)" by Strabo is a historical account and geographical treatise written during the early Roman Empire period. This work is part of a comprehensive geography that aims to document the known world of Strabo’s time, detailing places, cultures, and significant historical context. It serves as an important resource for understanding ancient geographies and the political landscape of the Mediterranean and surrounding regions. At the start of this volume, the author provides a preface that outlines his background and the scope of his work. He introduces his methodology of collecting geographic information, noting the importance of personal observation and credible reports from travel. Strabo discusses the contributions of historical figures and writers in shaping geographic knowledge, making references to his travels and the various peoples and cities he has encountered. This foundation sets the stage for a detailed exploration of regions like Ionia, Caria, and the kingdoms of Asia, as Strabo transitions into specific geographic and political descriptions that characterize the heart of his work.
