A short review of The Rise of Rome by Polybius from the Folio Society • The most complete history of one of the world's great empires, The Rise of Rome has influenced thinkers from Machiavelli to the Founding Fathers of the United States. It comprises five surviving books and two partial volumes from Polybius' Histories, an ambitious, and originally vast work that explained how Rome conquered all the known regions of the civilised world. A leading politician, Polybius was born in Arcadia, Greece, in 200 BC and died around 117 BC. As the historian and broadcaster Michael Scott says in his new preface, this made him 'an eyewitness to one of the greatest power shifts in Mediterranean history'. • [Description Courtesy of The Folio Society] • Check out The Leather Library Blog below: • http://theleatherlibrary.wordpress.com/ • Rate, Comment Subscribe • Keep On Reading
