B.C.), a Greek historian. Of the 40 books making up his history of Rome, only 5 complete books and fragments of others survive. The history extends from the Punic Wars to the destruction of Corinth, or from about 266 B.C. to 146 B.C. It is filled with moralizing and attempts a justification of Roman conquests. Nevertheless, it is valuable for its on-the-scene descriptions. Polybius was born in Megalopolis. He was an officer in the Achaean League and was taken to Rome as a captive. There he enjoyed the patronage of the younger Scipio Africanus. He returned to Greece about 151 B.C., and later was the Achaean League's ambassador to Egypt.

Polybius was a member of the governing class, with first-hand opportunities to gain deep insight into military and political affairs. His political career was devoted largely towards maintaining the independence of the Achaean League . As the chief representative of the policy of neutrality during the war of the Romans against Perseus of Macedonia , he attracted the suspicion of the Romans, and was one of the 1000 noble Achaeans who in 166 BC were transported to Rome as hostages, and detained there for seventeen years. In Rome, by virtue of his high culture, he was admitted to the most distinguished houses, in particular to that of

Polybius - Definition Polybius ca 203 BC 120 BC ) was a Greek historian of the Mediterranean world, especially the rise of the Roman Republic , which he attributed to Roman fitness and to the excellence of Roman civic and military institutions. He is most valued for his account of the Second and Third Punic Wars between Rome and Carthage Polybius's account endeavoured to provide a universal history (his Pragmateia ) of the period between 220 BC and 146 BC , along with a prologue on Roman history from 264 BC , but unfortunately out of the forty books into which his history is divided, only the first five (covering the period up to 216 BC ) survive in total, although numerous lengthy fragments and epitomes from the rest of the books survive. The two introductory books give a precis of events in the Mediterranean from the Gauls ' sack of Rome to the First Punic War , focusing on the rise of the Roman hegemony. Although not impartial, he was not a Roman and his writings were intended for his fellow Greeks. Livy used him as a reference. Polybius often had excellent sources. As the former tutor of the Scipio Africanus the Younger , the famous adopted grandson of the famous general Scipio Africanus , Polybius remained on terms of the most cordial friendship and remained a counsellor to the man who defeated the Carthaginans in the Second Punic War by routing them from Spain and then defeating Hannibal himself in Africa at the Battle of Zama . The younger Scipio eventually invaded Carthage and forced them to surrender unconditionally. In a classic story of human behavior, Polybius captures it all: Nationalism, Racism, duplicitous politics, horrible battles, brutality, etc.; along with, loyalty, valor, bravery, intelligence, reason and resourcefulness. With his eye for detail and characteristic critically reasoned style, Polybius provided a unified view of history rather than a chronology.
