As a young man, the historian Polybius was an active politician in
the Achaean Confederacy of the second century B.C., and later,
during his detention at Rome, became a close friend of some leading
Roman families. His "History" is our most important source for the
momentous half-century during which the Romans weathered the war
with Hannibal and became masters of the Mediterranean world. F. W.
Walbank describes the historical traditions within which Polybius
wrote as well as his concept of history.
