Description
The History of Rome by Polibio provides a unique perspective on the city's rise to power. Written in the 2nd century BC, this monumental work is considered one of the most important historical texts of its time. Polibio's innovative approach to history, known as "historia pragmática", focuses on contemporary events and aims to educate readers about life in ancient Rome. The surviving fragments of his work offer valuable insights into the politics, society, and culture of the Roman Republic. Translated with an introduction by José M.ª Candau Morón, this edition brings Polibio's historical masterpiece to a new generation of readers.
