I believe it is both Greek and Rome, but more of Greek
Greek is mentioned in relation to democracy, especially the weaknesses of direct democracy, where citizens would congregate at the mount to air their views and elect the candidate of their choice.

Rome is mentioned in relation to the course of imperialism on national cohesion and stability, as well as the capture of a good democratic course by totalitarian regimes.
