Ptolemy Claudius Ptolemaeus ( Greek : Κλαύδιος Πτολεμαῖος ; after 83 – 161 CE), known in English as Ptolemy , was a Greek mathematician , geographer , astronomer , and astrologer . He lived in Roman Egypt , and was probably born there at the town in the Thebaid called Ptolemais of Hermias; he died in Alexandria . Ptolemy was the author of several scientific treatises, three of which would be of continuing importance to later Islamic and European science.
Ptolemy ruled Egypt at the same time that Brutus and Caesar were living.
