    In the legal science, the western world suffered intense Roman influence. Current legal codes are also Roman influence. Roman Law Codes were built over time, adapting to the changes that occurred in the population's social relations.

    The Roman Code of Law was divided into:

    Jus Naturale, or Natural Law, which presented the foundations of Roman law and the notion that human beings by nature had rights;

    Jus Civile, or Civil Law, a set of laws applied to the citizens of Rome;

    Jus Gentium, or Law of the People, applied to foreigners in a set of comprehensive laws that did not take nationalities into account.

    The latter is the basis for international law as we know it today. The notion of full private property also emerged with Roman law, which may also explain its updating in current capitalist society, which has private property as one of its pillars.

    Athens, which was considered the most refined example of Greek culture, had its cultural and political heyday in the 5th century BC In Athenian society, unlike Sparta, political decisions were not in the hands of a council, but in the government of the majority, democracy. Within this system, all citizens could represent themselves (they did not need to elect anyone) and decide the fate of the city. At the same time that Athens opened space for citizens, it reserved less space for women than in Spartan society
