Polybius of Megalopolis was not visiting Rome, nor there by choice or accident. He was a hostage brought to Rome along with a thousand of his fellow countrymen to ensure the good behavior of the Greek region of Achea. There the locals often gave their "Roman masters" problems due to Rome's governance of Polybius' home territory.
