Similarities: emphasis on aristocratic principles with some democratic elements, localism, and city-state units.

Differences: Rome had more emphasis on unifying laws and more success in developing institutions for empire.

It is very difficult to make a comparison as both Greek and Roman political structures changed over time and because Greece was divided into many states with different political structures.

Originally Greece was made up of city-states and later the kingdom of Epirus (in the west) and the kingdom of Macedon were formed. The latter became the largest and the dominant state in mainland Greece. There were Greek states in western Turkey and city states in southern Italy and Sicily as well. The philosopher Aristotle classified the constitutions of the Greek states as monarchy (rule by a king) aristocracy (rule by the excellent) tyranny (rule by a tyrant) oligarchy (rule by the rich) democracy (rule by the people) and mixed constitution.

Rome's had several political structures over time. It had a monarchy for 244 years, a republic for 482 year and rule by emperors (who were absolute rulers) for 503 years.
