Pausanias traveled extensively through Greece under Roman rule, documenting his observations with the careful eye of both geographer and cultural historian. As a Spartan general, he also rebuilt and fortified Byzantium, bridging the worlds of military leadership and scholarly observation in an age of transition.
Description
A weathered Greek traveler with sun-darkened features and intelligent dark eyes that miss nothing of their surroundings. His practical traveling cloak covers simpler garments suited to long journeys, while his observant gaze and sturdy build speak of someone who has walked the length of the known world.
