Born on November 23, 1812, in Chadlington, Oxfordshire, he was the younger brother of the famous Assyriologist, Sir Henry Rawlinson. George Rawlinson was educated at Ealing School and then at Trinity College, Oxford, where he graduated in 1838. He was subsequently appointed to a number of academic positions, including Camden Professor of Ancient History at the University of Oxford from 1861 to 1889. Rawlinson's scholarly work was characterized by meticulous research and a narrative style that made ancient history accessible to a wider audience. His prolific writings encompassed various subjects, but he is particularly known for his translations of Herodotus and his historical accounts of ancient civilizations.
