Robin Waterfield is an author and translator. His many acclaimed translations for OWC include Plato's Republic and five other Plato translations, Plutarch, Herodotus, Aristotle, Xenophon and Euripides. Brian McGing has written articles on the Hellenistic period and recently completed a book on Polybius. He is Regius Professor of Greek at Trinity College Dublin.
Here is the first new translation for over thirty years of Polybius' Histories , the major source for our knowledge of the Eternal City's early rise to power, covering the years of the Second Punic War, the defeat of Hannibal, and Rome's pivotal victories in the Mediterranean. Polybius, himself a leading Greek politician of the time, attributes Rome's success to the greatness of its constitution and the character of its people, but also allows Fortune a role in shaping world events. This new translation by Robin Waterfield includes the first five books in their entirety, and all of the fragmentary Books 6 and 12. Brian McGing's lucid introduction discusses the period covered by the Histories , Polybius' major role in the reconstruction of Greece after the defeat of the Achaean League, the themes and subject matter of the individual books, Polybius' outspoken views on how (and how not), and his significance for historiography. The book also includes succinct, clear notes, maps, a glossary, and an index of proper names.

评分不知道英文版企鵝的人什麼想法,波里比阿一再強調普世史的屬性他們還把希臘化世界歷史的部分刪去那麼多,和網上的原書對比後真是怒不能已。希臘化歷史的第一手材料基本就來源於這部著作,反倒是羅馬方面布匿戰爭等等有一大堆相同題材。最可恨是節錄反倒還把波里比阿噴人的大段...
评分想了解一段历史,最快捷的办法是读当事人留下来的作品,所以在卓越网看到这本《THE RISE OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE罗马帝国的崛起》时,即使没有太大的优惠我也毫不犹豫的买下来。这本书的作者作为第三次布尼战争的指挥官小西庇阿的朋友波利比阿,亲眼见证了迦太基帝国的毁灭和罗马...

发现和另外一本搞错了……
评分the most trustworthy Polybius.
评分the most trustworthy Polybius.
评分这本整体看来还是翻译得很谨慎【有极个别的地方把什么philos symmachos之类的混起来有点无奈】。只收了前六卷和十二卷部分残篇,残篇不大全。主要是Walbank实在是太好用了所以相比别的几本oxford,实用性不够高吧。。。
评分論羅馬如何成為橫跨歐亞非的帝國。征服西西里前後事件和戰役回顧。中心意思成敗關鍵是運氣,哈哈。
