Polybius The game that drives you crazy to play it... The (Photoshopped?) title screen of DOOM. Don't bother trying to find the ROM- according to rumor this is all you'll see even if you do get it. It's said, in 1981, a game appeared in the suburbs of Portland, Oregon. Composed of mysterious puzzle elements, the game drove children who played it to literally lose their minds. Some children lost their memories, their names, their very identities and would wander away from the game dazed and confused. Others awoke screaming in their beds, seized by horrible nightmares. The few arcades in which this game was placed were occasionally visited by men in black suits who came to clear out the games- not of quarters, but of secret records stored inside the machines. And then, a month later, the men took the games away, and it was lost to all knowledge. Some said it was a secret government mind-control experiment. Others whispered that it was designed to make the players never play games again. But all whispered the game's name- Polybius- with secret dread and morbid curiosity. The eraser of minds seemed to have itself been erased. But then there was rumor of a ROM dump...

Polybius for Kids - an ancient historian Polybius Polybius (po-LIB-ee-us) was a rich Greek man, who was born in the Greek city of Athens, about 200 BC . When the Romans conquered his city-state , they demanded some hostages from that city. The Romans took these hostages to Rome, and they said if the city-state tried to get free of Roman rule, or did anything the Romans didn't like, then the Romans would kill the hostages. Polybius volunteered to be one of these hostages, and so he ended up spending the rest of his life living in Rome . While he was there, he spent his time writing a history of Rome up to that point. Polybius wrote in Greek , because he was Greek, and also because he wanted to help Greek people understand who these Romans were that had conquered them. Today, Polybius is one of our best sources (the other one is Livy ) for the history of the early Roman Republic and the Punic Wars . Most of what we know about this time comes from either Polybius or Livy. Livy The Punic Wars Main Roman literature page Main Ancient Rome page ... Save to del.icio.us

Polybius and the Modern State by Sean Corrigan In the VIth Book of his Histories , written to explain Rome's rise to what today's geopolitical inarticulates would term "hyperpowerdom"' or "full spectrum dominance," the Greek statesman and historian, Polybius, outlined his theory of the cycle of political revolution. In his schema, there successively arose three "good" forms of government – kingship, aristocracy, and democracy – only for each to succumb to corruption and for its ensuing realization in its perverted form – respectively tyranny, oligarchy (Rockerfellerdom?), and ochlocracy, or mob rule – to be overthrown by the benign phase of the next. In his progression, successively more people shared power as a safeguard against abuse until the degeneracy of democracy again led to conditions auspicious for the acceptance of the "Fuehrerpinzip." Readers of Hoppe's Democracy: The God that Failed would recognise Polybius's description of the demise of the republic of the free: Thus the only hope still surviving unimpaired is in themselves, and to this they resort, making the state a democracy instead of an oligarchy and assuming the responsibility for the conduct of affairs.

The person writing the message intended for his audience to be able to read it. The Greeks were one of the first civilizations to use ciphers to communicate in secrecy. A Greek scholar named Polybius proposed a system for enciphering a message in which a cryptographer represented each letter with a pair of numbers ranging from one to five using a 5-by-5 square (the letters I and J shared a square). The Polybius Square (sometimes called the checkerboard) looks like this: A B C D E F G H I/J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z A cryptographer would write the letter "B" as "12". The letter O is "34". To encipher the phrase "How Stuff Works," the cryptographer would write "233452 4344452121 5234422543." Because he replaces each letter with two numbers, it's difficult for someone unfamiliar with the code to determine what this message means. The cryptographer could make it even more difficult by mixing up the order of the letters instead of writing them out alphabetically.

[Up: Flaubert] MBov Salam SentimE ... [home] Polybius on the Mercenaries War Jorn Barger September 2002 For before either could get the better of the other, though the struggle in this place lasted for another two years, the war had been decided by other means. Such then was the condition of affairs at Eryx and as far as regarded land forces. We may compare the spirit displayed by both states to that of game cocks engaged in a death-struggle. For we often see that when these birds have lost the use of their wings from exhaustion, their courage remains as high as ever and they continue to strike blow upon blow, until closing involuntarily they get a deadly hold of each other, and as soon as this happens one or the other of the two will soon fall dead. So the Romans and Carthaginians, worn out by their exertions owing to the continual fighting, at length began to be despairing, their strength paralysed and their resources exhausted by protracted taxation and expense. The Carthaginians to give up to the Romans all prisoners without ransom. The Carthaginians to pay to the Romans by instalments in twenty years two thousand two hundred Euboean talents." But when these terms were referred to Rome, the people did not accept the treaty, but sent ten commissioners to examine the matter. On their arrival they made no substantial changes in the terms, but only slight modifications rendering them more severe for Carthage: for they reduced the term of payment by one half, added a thousand talents to the indemnity, and demanded the evacuation by the Carthaginians of all islands lying between Sicily and Italy.

56. Polybius: Who Was Polybius, And Why Should We Give A Hoot polybius was born into a rich and influential family in Megalopolis, in the Greek state of Arcadia, in 200 BC. By the time he was 30 he was a cavalry http://www.mmdtkw.org/VPolybius.html

Polybius Who was Polybius, and why should we give a hoot? Well it turns out that this ancient Greek turned Roman historian was a very important person in the foundation of the United States and succeeding western democracies. Polybius was born into a rich and influential family in Megalopolis, in the Greek state of Arcadia, in 200 BC. By the time he was 30 he was a cavalry commander in the army of the Achaean Confederation (headed by Athens). Although he was a man of action, he had also by that time made his mark as a biographer and as an author on military tactics. Polybius was one of several Achaean commanders who offered military support to Rome in its war against Perseus of Macedonia. But Rome didn't trust the Achaeans, and, even after defeating Perseus at Pydna in 168, the Romans took 1000 eminent Achaeans, including Polybius, back to Rome as hostages for Greek good behavior. Once in Rome, Polybius attracted the attention of the great Roman General, Scipio Aemilianus (Africanus the Younger), and Polybius began his Roman advancement under the protection of Scipio. It is fairly certain the Polybius went with the general on his campaigns in Spain and North Africa against the Carthaginians, and he surely was present at the destruction of Carthage by Scipio Aemilianus in 146 BC. Polybius later wrote what is still considered to be the definitive history of the Punic wars. Meanwhile Roman distrust of the Greeks had proved well founded. Rome had to put down an Achaean revolt in 146 BC, and Polybius was designated by both sides to work out the post-revolt settlement. Polybius did well for his native Achaea getting a very reasonable settlement. For his efforts he was considered a hero by his countrymen statues and laudatory inscriptions dedicated to him can still be found in several parts of Greece.
