		In writing his account of the relentless growth of the Roman Empire the Greek statesman Polybius set out to help his fellow-countrymen understand how their world came to be dominated by Rome.
		Opening with the Punic War in 264 BC, he records the critical stages of Roman expansion - its campaigns throughout the Mediterranean, the temporary setbacks inflicted by Hannibal and the final destruction of Carthage in 146 BC.
