Polybius and Roman Imperialism by Donald Walter Baronowski
Examines the complex reaction of the Greek historian Polybius to the expansion of Roman power, embracing admiration and support tempered by detachment of different kinds, personal, cultural, patriotic and intellectual.
[This] monograph cuts to the heart of Polybius's conflicted attitudes..This book is not a study of Roman imperialism or of Polybius's historiography but an analyis of a historian's personal reaction to his times. With less than half of the original text extant, the author remarkably brings to light the historian's personality and political philosophy. -- Adrian Tronson, University of New Brunswick * The Historian *
