390 a.C. Le mura che per secoli hanno protetto Roma sembrano destinate a cedere sotto la furia dei guerrieri celti. Dalla cittadella del Campidoglio, il tribuno Quinto Fabio Ambusto assiste con orrore alla strage in cui, con la sua vigliaccheria, ha trascinato la città. L’ira del nemico barbaro si placherà o segnerà la fine della potenza più temuta al mondo, prostrata dal lungo assedio?

Las pirámides de Egipto son símbolos tan reconocibles de la Antigüedad, que durante milenios la gente ha hecho conjeturas sobre lo que son y por qué existen, sin considerar completamente los diversos significados que estas antiguas estructuras simbólicas han tenido a lo largo de los siglos.

An NATO und Warschauer Pakt erinnert die Konstellation zwischen Attischem Seebund und Peloponnesischem Bund: Hier eine Organisation demokratischer Staaten, die sich über ein Meer spannt, dort eine Allianz autokratischer Staaten, die weitgehend einen Block auf dem Land bildet. Beide Vereinigungen werden von einer einzelnen Supermacht dominiert, die ihr politisches System überall durchsetzen will – auch mit robusten Methoden. Die Konfrontation endet zum Glück anders: Nach dem modernen Kalten Krieg triumphierten die Demokratien.

Da oltre duemila anni, Atene rappresenta molto più che una città nell'immaginario occidentale. Il secolo compreso tra le riforme di distene (508) e la morte di Socrate (399) è diventato modello universale, insieme politico e culturale. Politico perché si ritiene che ad Atene sia stata inventata la democrazia, cioè il regime istituzionale e di governo oggi più diffuso nel mondo. Culturale perché ad Atene fiorirono filosofia, storia, teatro, letteratura, arte e architettura che ancora oggi consideriamo riferimenti obbligati.
