Home›Poets & Writers›NationalityBrowse ByNationalityThis page groups historical figures by nationality, the country or people they are identified with. Wikipedia defines nationality as "the legal status of belonging to a particular nation," though for figures who lived before modern states existed the atlas records the closest historical equivalent. Browsing this way lets a visitor see every notable figure from one country or region gathered together.FactsNationalityConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsDirectoryCategoryWell-attestedHistorical Figures 1NationalityFilter Results16 entriesTraditionAllAncient Greek Religion (1)Christianity (4)New Thought (1)Roman Religion (1)Shinto (1)EraAll-43 to 17 (1)-70 to -19 (1)-750 to -650 (1)-750 to -700 (1)1048 to 1131 (1)1265 to 1321 (1)1548 to 1606 (1)1608 to 1674 (1)1757 to 1827 (1)1804 to 1864 (1)1811 to 1896 (1)1817 to 1862 (1)1821 to 1881 (1)1850 to 1904 (3)1856 to 1950 (1)1860 to 1911 (1)1915 to 2005 (1)1930 to 1999 (1)845 to 903 (1)Place of ActivityAllBerkeley (1)Boston (1)Cambridge (1)Cincinnati (1)Haarlem (1)Ibadan (1)Indiana (1)Ios (1)Italy (2)Japan (1)London (3)Melbourne (1)New Hampshire (1)New York City (1)Oxford (1)Romania (1)Rome (1)Saint Petersburg (1)Salisbury (1)Samarkand (1)Tokyo (3)Turkey (1)United States (1)GenderAllFemale (2)Male (15)HistoricityAllHistorically attested (16)Historicity debated (1)Veneration StatusAllHistorically Significant but Not Venerated (9)Officially Recognized or Venerated (3)Popularly or Locally Venerated (1)Manner Of DeathAllDied by accident or misadventure (1)Died of natural causes (9)Disputed (2)Revered InAllChristianity (3)Shinto (1)End YearAll146 BCE (1)1707 (1)1800 (1)1917 (1)Population at PeakAll3,600,000 (1)11,100,000 (1)161,000,000 (1)RegionAllThe Aegean and eastern Mediterranean (1)Size at Peak in Square KilometresAll22,800,000 (1)Start YearAll800 BCE (1)862 (1)927 (1)1707 (1)1721 (1)1776 (1)1801 (1)1830 (1)1861 (1)1901 (1)1922 (1)1960 (1)1979 (1)1991 (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 16Ancient GreeceNationality2 entriesArmeniaNationality1 entryAustraliaNationality1 entryCounty of FlandersNationality1 entryGreeceNationality1 entryIranNationality1 entryIrelandNationality2 entriesItalyNationality1 entryJapanNationality2 entriesThe Kingdom of EnglandNationality1 entryKingdom of Great BritainNationality1 entryNigeriaNationality1 entryRoman EmpireNationality2 entriesRussian EmpireNationality1 entryUnited KingdomNationality3 entriesUnited StatesNationality7 entriesConnectionsAssociated WithRome, Cities Well-attested This source names Rome directly: "Greek religion, Virgil and Ovid for Rome, Dante for medieval Christendom."Source Divinity Atlas Directory Prose, First Edition Category Descriptionstier 1Sources1.
