Polybius, a name that echoes through history, encompassing tales of adventure and knowledge. From the ancient city of Calicut in Lendas da India to the solemn procession where Polybius carried the ashes of Philopoemen in 182 BC, his presence was felt. An image emerges of an Ancient Greek historian diligently working on the Polybius Square or checkerboard, unraveling mysteries and secrets hidden within its intricate patterns. His dedication to understanding the world around him is evident in every stroke he makes. The photographs captured by EyeUbiquitous reveal glimpses into Polybius' world - from his contemplative gaze as he ponders historical events to his unwavering determination while exploring ruins alongside Scipio Aemilianus before Carthage. But there is more to this enigmatic figure than meets the eye. Did you know that there is even a species of crab named after him? It seems fitting for someone who delved deep into uncharted territories, both literal and metaphorical. In The Cosmographical Glass's woodcut title page from 1559, we catch a glimpse of what could be Polybius himself - a man with boundless curiosity and an insatiable thirst for knowledge. His legacy lives on through generations as we continue to uncover new truths about our past. Polybius (C), a captivating figure whose influence spans centuries, reminds us that history is not just a collection of facts but rather a tapestry woven together by those who dare to seek answers. Let us follow in his footsteps and embark on our own journeys towards understanding our world's rich tapestry.
