Sommario/riassunto: The Histories of the second-century B.C. author Polybius chronicles one of the most exciting, and important, developments in the ancient world-the transformation of Rome from an Italian peninsular state into the first, and only, pan-Mediterranean super-power there has ever been. This volume provides an accessible introduction to this great work, written in 40 books (of which only the first five are preserved in full) covering the period 264-146 B.C.
