Polybius (c. 200 – c. 118 BCE) was a prominent Greek historian from Arcadia and a member of the Achaean League. Exiled to Rome, he became a close associate of the Scipionic circle and a keen observer of Roman politics and military affairs. His magnum opus, the *Histories*, aimed to explain the rise of Rome to world power through a pragmatic, cause-and-effect analysis.
