Devolves into an oligarchy

Treats slaves harshly
Obedient to authority
THE TIMOCRATIC MAN
Loves power
Equates power to military feats

As a youth, the timocratic man
despised riches.
However, as he gets older, the
timocratic man will start to get
attracted to money.
This attraction to money reflects the
shift of virtue of the State, and thus
cause its downfall into an oligarchy.
