In ancient times, as well as in modern times, whoever has the most money usually can have the ability of having the most influence over the ruling power. Through the ruling power, they can bribe or blackmail them into making rules. Basically, he who holds the money will be able to rule a whole country from behind the throne - whoever sits on the throne is the figurehead of power.
