Pavel Oliva was the most important Czech historian of antiquity. His principal works dealt with tyranny in archaic Greece, the economy of the Roman province of Pannonia, and the history of the Spartan state. In the 50s and 60s of the 20th century, Oliva radically reassessed his conception of historiography. From the defence of the only correct view, he arrived at rejecting any authoritative idea of history.
