My favorite sections from both topics are A Whole Nation goes on Strike (the Roman Empire) and Various Types of Government (Ancient Greece). Both topics are interesting in there own ways and you will learn a lot if you read just like I did so lets get started.
A Whole Nation Goes on Strike (The Roman Empire)
To right their Nation the Plebeians went on a general strike. In 494 B.C. the Plebeians marched out of Rome and threatened to make a new city. They agreed to cancel all dept's and release people who were put in jail for dept's. Plebeians achieved further goals. The strike terrified Partricans . Rome received the first written law code in 451-50 B.C.
The Punic Wars (The Roman Empire)
The Punic Wars began in 464 B.C. War forces had turned Rome into a Nation of soldiers. They were the only remaining. The courage of Rome was tested in a disastrous series of wars. The second Punic war was Hannibal. Rome savagely attacked it's defeated rival.
