The first five chapter focus largely, if not entirely, on Greek politics, Greek societies. The introduction mentioned that the Romans based their politics for a large part on the Greek ideas, yet gave them an own twist over the years. The last chapters then treat the Roman view on politics.
Treating such a subject involves taking into account what the more famous persons did: Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, Scipio, Gaius, Augustus, and so on. It's interesting to read how concepts of the past still are applied today. How it's a never-ending wheel/cycle. How one nation has one kind of vision for itself, yet propagates another (contrasting) vision abroad. Money makes the world go around.
As it's a small guide, several topics or details were not treated, but that was not part of the scope. As it is, and especially when one wants a brief refresh, this is a good step-up to more detailed and worked out books.
Next to the obligatory notes, you'll find a list with brief biographies of key persons, events and places, as well as a list of abbreviations and references. And I'd almost forget the maps and timelines.
Mind you, do read this little guide with attention, as the writing style is fairly heavy. While I like such a style, I don't recommend you read this when you're getting tired. ;-)… (mais)
