Th Greeks were huge racists who focused on philosophy instead of rights and defence thats why they were conquered so easily.

MILITARY hands down was the greatest to dominate the Mediterranean and the Mare Nostrum if you know what I mean.

Rome is one of the civilizations that stood for a millennium only few other civilization can claim this title by not being conquered! Spartans have best military eh? Well who conquered who the average Spartan had the brain of a Roman slave and sucked a strategy all they did was run at someone, barbaric if you ask me

Whats philosophy gonna do your gonna preach them to death? Also I understand philosophy but military is another factor the phalanx was inferior to the testudo and lets look who's richer the Latin based western Europeans or the Greek based eastern Europeans? Rome DOMINATED the Mediterranean it conquered from Britain to Syria which surpassed the small Greek exasperated colonies. Who conquered who just wanna clarify!

First don't forget Greece in this the

Spartans murdered their children and were uncivilized in the eyes of the Persians. Roman republic is way better than Greek democracy first of a democracy is like everyone in the country makes laws. While a republic is an elected leader, sure the republic failed but without it how would you even govern a country the size of Russia with everyone needed to vote. Nicest people who knew the Greeks were the racists do you know the word barbarian the Greeks invented it because whenever anyone else talked they thought all they said was Bar!Bar! Bar!. they didn't even respect any culture except the Hellenistic culture.
