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 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 there are numerous lengthy fragments from the rest of the book. 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. He even befriended the younger Scipio Africanus , the famous adopted grandson of the famous general 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.

Polybius. The Roman Constitution. Book 6, selections. Polybius' classic description of the Roman constitution as it had developed during the Roman Republic. Remember that there was no formal constitution such as the modern American one, but rather a series of traditions that gradually came to be commonly respected. As for the Roman constitution, it has the three elements controlling the constitution which I have mentioned before [kingship, aristocracy and democracy]; and their respective share of power in the whole state had been regulated with such a scrupulous regard to equality and equilibrium that no one could say for certain, not even a native, whether the constitution as a whole was an aristocrcy or democrcy or monarchy. And no wonder, for it we confine our observation to the power of the consuls we should be inclined to regard it as monarchic and kingly; if to that of the Senate, as aristocratic; and if finally one looks at the power possessed by the people it would seem a clear case of a democracy. What the exact powers of these several parts were and still, with slight modifications, are, I will now state. Again, it is the people who bestow offices on the deserving, which are the most honourable rewards of virtue. It has also the absolute power of passing or repealing laws, and, most important of all, it is the people who deliberate on the question of war or peace. And when provisional terms are made for alliance, suspension of hostilities, or treaties, it is the people who ratify them or the reverse. These considerations again would lead one to say that the chief power in the state was the people's, and that the constitution was a democracy.

63. Polybius: Who Was Polybius, And Why Should We Give A Hoot polybius Who was polybius, and why should we give a hoot? polybius later wrote what is still considered to be the definitive history of the Punic wars. http://www.mmdtkw.org/VPolybius.html

Polybius: Who was Polybius, and why should we give a hoot? Well it turns out that this ancient Greek turned Roman historian was a very important person in the foundation of the United States and succeeding western democracies. Polybius was born into a rich and influential family in Megalopolis, in the Greek state of Arcadia, in 200 BC. By the time he was 30 he was a cavalry commander in the army of the Achaean Confederation (headed by Athens). Although he was a man of action, he had also by that time made his mark as a biographer and as an author on military tactics. Polybius was one of several Achaean commanders who offered military support to Rome in its war against Perseus of Macedonia. But Rome didn't trust the Achaeans, and, even after defeating Perseus at Pydna in 168, the Romans took 1000 eminent Achaeans, including Polybius, back to Rome as hostages for Greek good behavior. Once in Rome, Polybius attracted the attention of the great Roman General, Scipio Aemilianus, and Polybius began his Roman advancement under the protection of Scipio. It is fairly certain the Polybius went with the general on his campaigns in Spain and North Africa against the Carthaginians, and he surely was present at the destruction of Carthage by Scipio Africanus in 146 BC. Polybius later wrote what is still considered to be the definitive history of the Punic wars. Meanwhile Roman distrust of the Greeks had proved well founded. Rome had to put down an Achaean revolt in 146 BC, and Polybius was designated by both sides to work out the post-revolt settlement. Polybius did well for his native Achaea getting a very reasonable settlement. For his efforts he was considered a hero by his countrymen statues and laudatory inscriptions dedicated to him can still be found in several parts of Greece.

B.C. , Greek historian, b. Megalopolis. As one of the leaders of the Achaean League and a friend of Philopoemen , he was influential in Greek politics. Having advocated the neutral stand of the League in the war between Rome and Macedon, he was deported (167 B.C. ) with a large number of Achaeans to Rome after the Roman victory over Macedon. He obtained the protection of Aemilius Paullus and of the Scipio family, and under their patronage he undertook several voyages, notably one to Achaea, where he sought to win favor for the Roman government. It was also under the Scipios' patronage that Polybius undertook his universal history, one of the great historical works of all time (see tr. by W. R. Paton in the Loeb Classical Library, 6 vol., 1954). Of the 40 books only the first five survive intact; of the rest there are generous fragments. It was Polybius' chief aim to trace for his contemporaries the causes of the sudden rise of Rome; his history covered the Mediterranean world from before 220 B.C.

66. Polybius And The Modern State polybius and the Modern State. by Sean Corrigan. What is also revealing is the way polybius s own life has resonances with modern times. http://www.lewrockwell.com/corrigan/corrigan11.html

Polybius and the Modern State by Sean Corrigan In the VIth Book of his Histories , written to explain Rome's rise to what today's geopolitical inarticulates would term "hyperpowerdom"' or "full spectrum dominance," the Greek statesman and historian, Polybius, outlined his theory of the cycle of political revolution. In his schema, there successively arose three "good" forms of government – kingship, aristocracy, and democracy – only for each to succumb to corruption and for its ensuing realization in its perverted form – respectively tyranny, oligarchy (Rockerfellerdom?), and ochlocracy, or mob rule – to be overthrown by the benign phase of the next. In his progression, successively more people shared power as a safeguard against abuse until the degeneracy of democracy again led to conditions auspicious for the acceptance of the "Fuehrerpinzip." Readers of Hoppe's Democracy: The God that Failed would recognise Polybius's description of the demise of the republic of the free: Thus the only hope still surviving unimpaired is in themselves, and to this they resort, making the state a democracy instead of an oligarchy and assuming the responsibility for the conduct of affairs.

72. Polybius And Livy polybius and Livy. The battle of Saguntum as told by polybius and Livy gives two separate accounts of the same battle and the events leading up to it. http://home.earthlink.net/~skankin/livy.htm

Polybius and Livy The battle of Saguntum as told by Polybius and Livy gives two separate accounts of the same battle and the events leading up to it. The most significant force shaping these two authors is most likely the nationalities of the two men. The differences in the styles and facts between these two stories are extensive. While neither side fully identifies with Carthage, one author definitely gives a more well rounded and evenly balanced account. The two histories differ not only in facts about the battle, but also in the events leading up to the battle as well as how Hannibal is depicted. The nationality of a writer in reference to the country he/she is examining, is the key to understanding the point of view from which a story is told. In this comparison, Polybius is a foreign writer living in Rome while writing about it. Polybius being born a Greek allows him to step outside the nationalism of Rome and view the battle of Saguntum in a more unbiased form. Livy, a Roman born and breed, takes a more national outlook on the events at Saguntum. His views express a more opinionated and biased tone. Livy also wrote almost 200 years after the battle, during the height of the Roman Empire. This period was subject to extreme nationalism in literature. This movement must also account for the numerous pro-Roman themes in Livy account and other works of the time such as Virgil's Aeneid.

The Rise of the Roman Empire by Polybius The Rise of the Roman Empire Translated by Ian Scott-Kilvert introduction by F.W.Walbank "The fact is that we can obtain no more than an impression of a whole from a part, but certainly neither a thorough knowledge nor an accurate understanding. We must conclude then that specialized studies or monographs contribute very little to our grasp of the whole and our conviction of its truth. On the contrary, it is only by combining and comparing the various parts of the whole with one another and noting their resemblances and their differences that we shall arrive at a comprehensive view, and thus encompass both the practical benefits and the pleasure that the reading of history affords." Polibius reports on the speech made by Agelaus of Naupactus at the first conference in the presence of the King and the allies. He spoke as follows: Philip V from Macedon invites Flamininus (Roman commander) to explain what he, Philip, should do to have peace: "The Roman general replied that his duty dictated an answer which was both simple and clear. He demanded that Philip should withdraw from the whole of Greece, restore to each of the states the prisoners and deserters he was holding, hand over to the Romans the region of Illyria which he had seized after the treaty that had been made in Epirus, and so on...."

[Up: Flaubert] MBov Salam SentimE ... [home] Polybius on the Mercenaries War Jorn Barger September 2002 For before either could get the better of the other, though the struggle in this place lasted for another two years, the war had been decided by other means. Such then was the condition of affairs at Eryx and as far as regarded land forces. We may compare the spirit displayed by both states to that of game cocks engaged in a death-struggle. For we often see that when these birds have lost the use of their wings from exhaustion, their courage remains as high as ever and they continue to strike blow upon blow, until closing involuntarily they get a deadly hold of each other, and as soon as this happens one or the other of the two will soon fall dead. So the Romans and Carthaginians, worn out by their exertions owing to the continual fighting, at length began to be despairing, their strength paralysed and their resources exhausted by protracted taxation and expense. The Carthaginians to give up to the Romans all prisoners without ransom. The Carthaginians to pay to the Romans by instalments in twenty years two thousand two hundred Euboean talents." But when these terms were referred to Rome, the people did not accept the treaty, but sent ten commissioners to examine the matter. On their arrival they made no substantial changes in the terms, but only slight modifications rendering them more severe for Carthage: for they reduced the term of payment by one half, added a thousand talents to the indemnity, and demanded the evacuation by the Carthaginians of all islands lying between Sicily and Italy.

THE ALLOBROGE GAULS VIENNE, METROPOLIS OF THE ALLOBROGES Polybius Strabo Greek text by Polybius (History, III, 50) after a translation by G. Barruol. " Hannibal had been going up the river for ten days, he had covered 800 stadia (148 km.) and was climbing the lower slopes of the Alps when he found himself exposed to a very serious threat. As long as he had been on flat ground , none of the Allobroge chiefs had dared attack the Carthaginians, either for fear of the (Carthaginian) cavalry or of the Barbarians escorting them . But when the Segovellauni had returned to their land of origin and Hannibal began to enter the mountain range, the Allobroge chiefs, acting in concert, gathered a considerable contingent and occupied the positions that dominated the places where he would necessarily have to go through (the Arc valley, territory belonging to the Ceutrons, neighbours of the Allobroges)".
