The Histories by Polybius (Paperback)

The Histories by the Greek historian Polybius explains how Rome rose to dominate the Mediterranean world in little more than fifty years. Polybius, who knew many of the leading figures of his age, combines military and political narrative with reflections on how history should be written.

This Oxford World's Classics paperback presents the work in a readable translation by Robin Waterfield, with notes and introduction.
