28 In D 1.9 Machiavelli recognizes that Sparta did not, in fact, last without corruption or serious tumult. D 1.2 is thus an opening, provisional statement.

29 One of those commentators, Wolfgang Kersting, Niccolò Machiavelli (Munich: C. H. Beck, 1988), 62–73, observes that Machiavelli’s understanding of the cycles, unlike that of ancient philosophers, is not based on a conception of a cosmological order; it is rather based on his understanding of human passions, both the need for political order and the limits of that order those passions impose.
