Pausanias was born around 110 AD in Magnesia under Mount Sipylus, in Asia Minor, and died in 180. Having likely held a permanent position at the library of Pergamum and a family estate, he traveled extensively to Greece, Egypt, Syria, Rome, and elsewhere from a young age.

His writing, 'Description of Greece', offers rich archaeological material and has been a source of abundant information for his successors on mythology, political history, and folk culture, as well as a guide to archaeological excavation in ancient topography during the excavations in many areas of Greece.
