Politics in the Ancient World is a brilliant and thought-provoking exploration of political systems and ideologies in the ancient Mediterranean, offering deep insights into the ways that ancient civilizations grappled with power, governance, and the role of the citizen. In this trade paperback edition from Cambridge University Press (1991), Finley presents a sweeping analysis of the political structures of ancient Greece, Rome, and the Near East, examining both the ideals and the practical realities of ancient politics. Drawing on his vast knowledge of history and philosophy, Finley critically assesses the nature of democracy, tyranny, and oligarchy, arguing that ancient political thought was often more concerned with the moral and philosophical aspects of governance than with the mechanics of power.

This book is essential reading for students and scholars of ancient history, political theory, and classical studies, offering a profound reflection on the enduring legacy of ancient political thought. — Quick view Add to Cart
