材料题

“光荣属于希腊,伟大属于罗马。”阅读材料,回答问题。

材料一 我们的制度之所以被称为民主政治,因为 * * 是在全体公民手中,而不是在少数人手中;让一个人负担公职优先于他人的时候,所考虑的不是某一个特殊阶级的成员,而是他们所具有的真正才能。任何人,只要他能够对国家有所贡献,就绝对不会因为贫穷而在政治上湮没无闻。在我们这里,每一个人所关心的,不仅是他自己的事务,而且也关心国家的事务;就是那些最忙于他们自己的事务的人,对于一般政治也是熟悉的。我们雅典人自己决定我们的政策,或者把决议提交适当的讨论,最坏的是没有适 当地讨论其后果,就冒失开始行动。这一点又是我们和其他人民不同的地方。 ——摘自伯里克利《在阵亡将士葬礼上的演说》

罗马法律主要集中于保护私人财产和家庭稳定。它也保存了一些重要的法律概念。在罗马人的观念里,法律应该是不断发展的,以适应变化的情况,但不要变动太大。要用法律和客观的判断而不是个人的心血来潮来调和社会的各种关系。……罗马法律也促进了普遍意义上的公平。  ——《全球文明史》

(2)据材料二,概括指出罗马法的历史作用。
