Description

Explore the complex historical perspectives of the Greek historian Polybius in this detailed study from Bristol Classical Press. This book examines how Polybius viewed the rapid expansion of Roman power and the nuances of his political observations. While Polybius viewed imperialism as inherently noble and offered his support for Roman domination, the text reveals his distinct sense of detachment from the ruling authorities. This detachment manifests through personal, cultural, and patriotic lenses, providing a multi-dimensional view of his relationship with the Roman state. Readers will gain insight into his beliefs regarding Roman foreign policy, including his views on how the Romans used morally acceptable pretexts for war. The work also covers his observations on how Roman administration practiced moderation, justice, and beneficence when dealing with subject populations. It is an essential resource for those studying ancient history, Greek historians, and the foundations of Roman political expansion.
