History is for the future not the past. The dead don't read.
Operam et vitam do Europae Barbarorum.
History does not repeat itself. The historians repeat one another. - Max Beerbohm
Re: Historians of EB Team UNITE!!
the surviving text from Polybius is highly fragmentary, and "5000 chrysaspides" was one possible filler for the missing space, which most scholars have rejected.
"The mere statement of fact, though it may excite our interest, is of no benefit to us, but when the knowledge of the cause is added, then the study of history becomes fruitful." -Polybios
