Who is Dionysius of Byzantium?
Dionysius of Byzantium was a Greek geographer of the 2nd century CE.
He is known for his Ανάπλους Βοσπόρου Anaplous Bosporou Voyage through the Bosporus or De Bospori navigatione, which describes the coastline of the Bosporus and the city of Byzantium, described by C. Foss as "one of the most remarkable and detailed of ancient geographic texts".
The work survives with a large lacuna, which is only known from a 16th-century Latin paraphrase by Petrus Gyllius.
