No, the Roman empire came after the Greek expansion. However, the Greeks never had an empire. Ancient Greece consisted of several city-states, all independent of each other and many times going to war with each other. The only time they would unite was in times of some crises, such as a Persian invasion, which threatened them all. Alexander the Great began building a Greek empire, but at his death it fell apart.

What empire defeated the Egyptian empire?

The Civilization that defeated Egypt, was the Persian Empire or also known as the Achaemenid Empire. The Persian Empire defeated the Egyptians while Cyrus The Greats Son (Cambyses II) was reigning over the Empire. The Egyptians didn't even bother to try and stop the Persian Empire as they we sick of their previous ruler. So I think the answer you are looking for is the Achaemenid Empire. Although they did capture Egypt, after the Persian Empire finished, all of the empire broke up into lots of different countries, as this was when the Persian Empire Fell.Hopefully This Helped.


What was the main weakness of the Roman empire?

Ancient Greece itself had no real weakness, since each individual city-states makes up for the weakness of another. For example, Spartan had a horrible political system, with oligarchy, monarchy, and democracy all together, yet Athens' democracy more than makes up for Spartan's political weakness. On the other hand, Spartan military make the whole Greece military seem stronger.
