# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born around 64 or 63 BC in Asia Minor, Strabo lived through the collapse of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Empire. He wrote histories that are now lost except in fragments quoted by later writers. His Geographica, completed during his lifetime, presented a descriptive account of the geography, peoples, and places across the world as Romans understood it — from Iberia to India, from the northern frontier to Africa. The work wasn't a military manual or a travel log but an attempt to explain human settlement and landscape in a single coherent frame. It's the only ancient geographical text that survives nearly complete, and it remained the standard reference for centuries after his death around 24 AD.
