'no one else in our times has attempted to write a
universal history' Polybius' ambitious goal was to
describe how Rome conquered the Mediterranean world in
less than fifty-three years. This great study of
imperialism takes the reader back to Rome's first
encounter with Carthage in 264 and forward to her
destruction of that renowned city in 146. Polybius,
himself a leading Greek politician of the time,
emphasizes the importance of practical experience for
the writing of political history as well as the critical
assessment of all the evidence. He attributes Rome's
success to the greatness of its constitution and the
character of its people, but also allows Fortune a role
in designing the shape of world events. This new
translation by Robin Waterfield, the first for over
thirty years, includes the first five books in their
entirety, and all of the fragmentary Books 6 and 12,
containing Polybius' account of the Roman constitution
and his outspoken views on how (and how not) to write
history. Brian McGing's accompanying introduction and
notes illuminate this remarkable political history.ABOUT
