What does this mean?

Hello People,

I came across this phrase and I'm not sure on the meaning. Hopefully you can help?

'Nor is the period without interest for itself.'

I'm not sure what this means?

And advice? And how did you understand it?

Thanks.

The previous sentence, which is necessary for full understanding, is: Thus the first four decades of the century ended in 'uncertainty and confusion in Greece', which must be understood if we are to understand the sequel. Your sentence is saying that the first four decades of the century are of interest in their own right too, not merely as a means to understand the later period.

That period of time (4th century BCE Greece) had many intrinsically interesting aspects.

Please post more context next time! The sentence out of context cannot easily be deciphered.
