Recently I have begun studying the similarities and influences of Greek and Roman culture. so far I have mainly focused on one society. The Old Republic. They are surprisingly similar to ancient Greece and Rome. First, politically, both were representative democracies, focused mainly on senatorial representation, with one main political leader selected from within the senate. Military is a mix between Rome and Greece. They do rely on the method of having large numbers of organized troops, who make up for individual weakness with numbers and organization, namely, clone troopers. However, they also use the Greek method of having a relatively small number of incredibly skilled warrior, such as Spartans, most notably I the republic with the Jedi and certain clone commandos. Actually, almost every military has an 'elite' commando.
