You did a good job on who Sempronius Asellio is on a general level, but more details need to be added. Explain more about his command under Africanus. If he was a prominent author explain more about the importance of his works. Also a few minor points: follow wikipedia's editing guide (for instance bolding the name when it's first introduced, and adding links for people mentioned, etc.), also for clarity/specific purposes, explain "apodictic style," among other ambiguous things.

Overall, this is an interesting article. Good work! I have a few suggestions. More specific details about the life of Sempronius Asellio would be helpful. What is Polibius’ apodictic style? There are also some copy editing issues in the Life and Work sections of the article. I suggest giving a some more information about his works and what about this is considered important.
