Resumen de Estrabón, historiador y geógrafo: algunas reflexiones
No doubt the study of Strabo’s "Historikà Hypomnémata" is a complex task due to the scarcity of fragments transmitted to us. Even his Geography gives us only three short references. However, regardless of the autonomous literary creation in both works, a “unitary” idea can be postulated with regard to intellectual conception. In short, the works of Strabo have to be put in relation to the victory of Octavius in Actium (31 BCE) and his subsequent accession to the imperial throne. Thus, our author is integrated into the group of writers to describe the greatness of the new Mediterranean empire, especially from the "Geography". This intellectual and literary impulse coincides with Strabo’s stay in Rome around 20 BCE.
