First edition of the famous translation of Abraham Loesher, the best edition and the most faithful according Keyboard.

JC's description of Greece is a testimony of the first importance on Greece to Roman times, particularly in the second century of the Christian era, although Pausanias often delights to mix history and mythology. In the manner of a modern travel guide, it provides, as and when its route, a detailed list of sites they visit and legends related to it. Numerous archaeological excavations have repeatedly confirmed the truth of his information, especially with regard to the historical sites and works of art they contain. To describe the monuments and sites he visits, Pausanias (115-180) search libraries and travel extensively. --- Please note that the translation in english is done automatically, we apologize if the formulas are inaccurate.
