The concise presentation of the scene provides an idea of the fundamental bond that exists between natural data, climate, geophysical relief, nature of the soil, and forms of power. Geographical constants explain several of the peculiarities of various ancient political societies, whether regarding types of governance, the role of the citizen, or the relationship of humans with geographical space, which lies at the heart of the ancient conceptualization of the State.
Subsequently, the entry of the actors onto the stage will mainly allow us to mention those individuals who, thereafter, we will never see playing a political role: women, foreigners, slaves—these numerically, religiously, economically significant components of society, yet which Greece and the Roman world systematically and unhesitatingly excluded from the community of citizens.
Greece and Rome, always distinct within the body of this work, will find themselves, by exception, contrasted in this introduction: as a kind of invitation to an essential comparison, which the student or reader is called to undertake at every moment, with the belief that only a continuous juxtaposition will enable them to fully grasp the uniqueness of the two such different yet also complementary intellectual experiences: those of Greece and Rome.
