Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the rise of ancient Rome from 220 to 167 BC, Polybius offers a detailed account of the Hellenistic Period, examining key events, nations, and the concept of fate. He emphasizes the significance of Rome's mixed constitution in its success and discusses various nations, including Egypt, Greece, and Spain, alongside the Punic Wars. Although not all volumes survive, the extant works remain crucial for understanding this era. This edition features a translation by W. R. Paton, printed on premium acid-free paper.
