What are the features of political consciousness and social psychology of ancient citizens?

The society of that time played an important role in the life of ancient people. A resident of the Greek polis or the Roman republic was primarily afraid of being left out of society, being expelled. That is why in the policies and during the heyday of the Roman state, much attention was paid to political and social identity. A person was brought up to love his city, state, family. Individual qualities of character were also brought up, aimed at serving the ancient society, for example, heroism, courage.
