Dated back to the Hellenistic period, this exquisite representation offers a glimpse into the intellectual and scientific curiosity that defined Theophrastus' legacy as a philosopher and naturalist. Theophrastus (374-287 BC) was a student of Aristotle and one of the most influential thinkers of his time. He is best known for his extensive work in the fields of botany, geology, and meteorology.
