Pausanias (c. AD 110 – c. 180) was
a Greek traveler and geographer of the 2nd century AD,
who lived in the times of Hadrian, Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius. He is famous for his Description
of Greece (Ἑλλάδος περιήγησις Hellados Periegesis) a
lengthy work that describes ancient Greece from firsthand
observations, and is a crucial link between classical literature and modern archaeology.
