The aim of this article is to refer Polybius’s political theory, included in Book VI of The Histories, to the history of the rise of the Roman Republic. This theme must have been particularly significant for Polybius. For him, Rome was the most perfect example of a mixed government system, and the aim of describing its history was to show the development of this perfect system. The article presents the mutual relation of theory and history, starting with the period of kingship, up to the emergence of the democratic element, i.e. the moment when Rome acquired the mixed system of government. Both the political and social contexts of the changes are outlined. The analysis suggests that Polybius related his political theory to the history of the state he admired, thus providing the theory with actual foundations. Reconstructing his analysis makes it possible to see the history of Rome in a different light, and to ponder the system itself and its decline, even though the main objective of both Polybius and this article is to present its development.

This paper presents the evolution and revolution as important factors of the constitutional changes in Greek philosophy. It contains an analysis of the terminology, selected political theories, as well as the necessity and diversity of changes. It is meant to establish the systemic sources of revolution and answer the question whether the revolution and evolution factors were essential for constitutional changes according to the ancients and can those theories still be considered as valid.

The article presents the concept of Andrzej Maximilian Fredro’s division of political regimes which is based on the antonym of a republic and a monarchy. The first part is focused on the doctrinal sources of the concept. The influence of Aristotle and Polybius is especially stressed here. In the second part, there is the description of Fredro’s vision of the republic in the historic context of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. A special interest is given to point the main advantages which Fredro finds in this political regime. Another part presents Fredro’s vision of monarchy by pointing differences in relation to its classical concept. The attitude toward freedom is treated as the critical feature that distinguishes republic between monarchy. The next part deals with the position of the king in the mixed form of government by describing Fredro’s model of rector. The final conclusion points that Fredro’s antonym of a republic and a monarchy adjusts the classical model of the division of forms of governments to the experience of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and expresses a strong preference for freedom. Due to Fredro’s defense of republican regime is close to Montesquieu’s explanation of the division of power.
PL
W artykule opisano kluczowy dla myśli Andrzeja Maksymiliana Fredry podział ustrojowy zbudowany na zasadzie przeciwstawienia republiki i monarchii. W pierwszej części skupiono się na kwestii doktrynalnych źródeł omawianego podziału. Wskazano przede wszystkim na wpływ, jaki na Fredrę wywarły koncepcje Arystotelesa i Polibiusza. W drugiej części omówiono Fredrowską wizję republiki ze wskazaniem jej odniesienia do realiów Rzeczypospolitej. Podano tu również zasadnicze racje, które Fredro przedstawił na rzecz ustroju mieszanego. Następnie zaprezentowano Fredrowską wizję monarchii, wskazując na różnice w stosunku do ujęć klasycznych, jak również ustalono krytyczny punkt odróżniający ją od republiki, którym jest wolność. W kolejnej części poddano analizie sytuację i zadania króla w ustroju republikańskim, którą Fredro określił terminem rector. W konkluzjach wskazano, że Fredrowska konfrontacja republiki z monarchią stanowi dostosowanie klasycznej klasyfikacji ustrojów do doświadczenia siedemnastowiecznej Rzeczypospolitej i zasadniczej preferencji wolności. Dzięki temu Fredrowskie uzasadnienie republiki zbliża się już do Monteskiuszowskiego.

Livy and Polybius note that after the conquest of New Carthage, Scipio Africanus the Elder freed Spanish hostages, among whom was Allucius’ fiancée of extraordinary beauty. Not only did Scipio not accept her as a gift, but he summoned her parents and fiancé from her country, returned her to them for free and gave away as a wedding gift the gold intended for her redemption. The motif of the “continence of Scipio”, which was a political strategy aimed at gaining allies and ensuring their friendship with the Romans, was widely reflected in literature, opera and, above all, painting, starting from the sixteenth century. In the article we present works created in the Venetian artistic environment that have not been analyzed before.
