Este libro continua la primera parte, publicada ya en esta misma colección, y estudia desde el final del siglo V, marcado por la conclusión de la larga Guerra del Peloponeso, hasta la paz de Apamea en el primer tercio del siglo II (antes de Cristo).

Desde la crisis de la polis hasta el nuevo concepto helenístico de realeza, este libro se presenta como un completo trabajo histórico.
