Infos

A Greek who lived in Asia Minor during the second century A.D., Pausanias traveled through Greece and wrote an invaluable description of its classical sites that is a treasure trove of information on archaeology, religion, history, and art. Although ignored during his own time, Pausanias is increasingly important in ours-to historians, tourists, and archaeologists. Christian Habicht offers a wide-ranging study of Pausanias' work and personality.
