Unraveling the Life and Legacy of Polybius

Polybius, born in Arcadia, Greece, in 200 BCE, was not only a historian but also an eyewitness to numerous historical events. His proximity to prominent figures such as Scipio Aemilianus and Philopoemen allowed him to gain firsthand knowledge, enabling him to provide valuable insights in his writings.

Throughout his works, Polybius aimed to decipher the underlying causes of historical events rather than simply recounting them. This approach sets him apart, highlighting his analytical prowess and depth of understanding when it comes to politics, warfare, and the growth of states. His most famous work, The Histories, spans an incredible 40 books, of which only the first five and some fragments remain.
