Not classical but Montesquieu - The Spirit of the Laws. Going further back one could read Cicero or perhaps Plato's republic or Herodotus's histories.
Literature wise, I would read Latin poetry, e.g. epic (Virgil's Aeneid) or elegiac (Ovid- Amores or Tibullus's works)

Here is Tibullus Book 1 of elegy, you can easily find a translation online.

I think the opposite. Verus is better and not and hypocrite like Senny

If you haven't read Plato, start with that.
Then Aristotle, Marcus Aurelius, Maquiavello, Voltaire, Tocqueville, Adam Smith, Stuart Mill.
Gabriel Reyes
Nietzsche
Goethe
Kant
Spengler
Parker Hill
Only if you're willing to become fluent in Russian though.
Henry Anderson
Seneca, Marcus Aurelius
Plato, Aristotle, Socrates
Montaigne, Montesquieu, Voltaire, La Boetie, Rabelais, Tocqueville
Thomas More, Erasmus, Dante, Boccaccio, Virgile
John Stuart Mill, Hayek, Edmund Burke
Probably my favorite authors.
Mason Sanders
Joseph de Maistre
Edmund Burke
Thomas Hobbes
read these instead
Angel Adams
Plato's Republic, Aquinas' Political Writings and Augustine's Political Writings (for a theological view of political thought), and for a fantastic fictional political work I highly recommend The Dialogue in Hell of Machiavelli and Montesquieu.

russian literature is heavily overrated exactly in the same way as roman literature is
you can understand greek literature on its own, but you can never understand roman literature without the greeks, since the romans didnt invent a single own myth and pretty much copy pasted everything from the greeks
greek literature is OK ish but very very boring, if you arent a child mentally you will most likely not enjoy it, you can easily learn to read old greek and latin, its not that difficult
one of the most rewarding but difficult to understand works is Decline of the West, in German, its a magnus opum by Spengler, a brilliant polymath who studied Mathematics, Physics, Art, Philosophy, History, Philology
however you wont understand it unless you read it in German and also you wont understand the content unless you are familiar with all these areas extensively
