ABSTRACT
In order to reconstruct Strabo's historical output, it is necessary to collate all the available fragments of his historical writings and testimonies concerning same. Carl Müller, who was the first to collate, compile and publish the fragments of the Greek historians, divided the entirety of the preserved remnants of Strabo's historical work into four testimonia and fifteen fragments. Strabo was not the only author writing in those days about contemporary history, he himself had read at least Timagenes and Asinius Pollio, and his name appears in the works of Josephus together with those of Nicolaus of Damascus and Livy. Strabo dabbled in the genre of the Hypomnemata, which was historical and geographical in character. He devoted his historical writings in particular to what took place after Polybius, but also included in them the deeds of Alexander. Strabo lived concurrently only at the time of the final part of the historical events described in his historical work.
