Res Publica mean the Public Thing

And it is called Politeia in greek, which roughly mean the city

Politeia means state more than city. It is "The State".

>>2448903
>Res Publica

THE LATIN TITLE IS "DE RE PUBLICA", WHICH IS IN ABLATIVE CASE, NOT IN NOMINATIVE CASE; "RES PUBLICA" IS IN NOMINATIVE CASE.

graecian here
Politeia (Πολιτεία) comes from "Πολίτης" which in modern english would mean "citizen" but these terms aren't exactly the same compared to ancient greece. The "State" (Πολιτεία) is composed of the "citizens" (Πολίτες). But desu such words can't be exactly translated in english, it's like we westerners can't really grasp what the word "gaijin" means to the japanese

YOU ARE CONFUSED, THEREFORE YOU ARE COMPLEXIFYING THIS TRIVIAL MATTER.

"POLITEIA" IS THE ADVERBIAL FORM OF "POLITY"; THE POLITY IS THE STATE, THEREFORE, "THE STATE" WOULD BE AN ACCEPTABLE ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF "POLITEIA", ALTHOUGH "REGARDING THE POLITY" WOULD BE A MORE ACCURATE TRANSLATION.

are you talking to yourself mate. How did i confuse things. I just said that it is "acceptable", but its not exactly right, because the terms have changed over the centuries. It all comes from "πολιτευομαι", a verb, which vaguely means "i actively participate in public matters"

>>2449257
remember when you used to get your ass kicked in /int/ and /pol/ risk games

>>2449237
What is your point ?
>>2448967
This is why i said "roughly"

>>2449303
>What is your point ?

Isn't obvious? You implied that the title is Res Publica when it's not.
