Prologue
Preface: Machiavelli's reconciling of leadership and democracy
Salutary tyranny in the prince and discourses. Agathocles as princely exemplum (Agathocles, Hiero, Cesare Borgia, Liverotto da Fermo, Nabis the Spartan) ; Greek tyrants and Roman reformers (Cleomenes, Clearchus, the Gracchi, Scipio Africanus, Julius Caesar)
Civic leadership in the prince and discourses. Severe and prudent civic magistrates: the consul, the dictator, and the gonfalonier "for life" (Lucius Brutus, Furius Camillus, and Piero Soderini) ; Rome's most prudent captain and Florence's unarmed prophets: envy, exile, and willingly leaving office (Camillus, Moses, Soderini, and Savonarola) ; Civic corruption, capital trials, and the assembled people (Marcus Menenius and Piero Soderini) ; Opening the people's eyes (at least partially): civic versus princely leadership (Pacuvius Calanus and Cesare Borgia)
Imprudent leadership in the Florentine histories. Faulty foundings and failed reformers: the civic ills of goodness, patriotism, and concord (Giano della Bella, Corso Donati, and Michele di Lando) ; Failed tyrants: bad men who know not how to appear good (Appius Claudius, Walter Brienne, and Septimius Severus)
