It remanined a dominant military power in both wars - it commanded at sea and on land in the Persian war, and led the Peloponnesian League to victory over the Athenian empire in the Peloponnesian War.
Its ongoing problem was declining manpower - the accumulated casualies it took in wars meant that the force it could deploy progressively shrank until it could no longer maintain dominance.
