Was King Phillip successful?

Yes, he expanded Macedonia, brought the Greek city-states under his control, and prepared to take over the Persian Empire, but assassination ended this.


Why did the tryants fall out of favor with the Greeks?

In Athens, the tyrants were welcomed by the majority, but hated by the aristocrats whose power they curtailed. To avoid assassination they had to hire a large bodyguard force, and to pay for it, had to levy a tax. Greeks hated taxes, and eventually after a generation, they had forgotten how bad things had been under the aristocrats and expelled the tyrants. The aristocrats tried to take over again, but Cleisthenes took over and established a democracy.


What advice would you have given to the leaders of Athens that might have helped them avoid the problems that developed?

to take things slowly and to think before you act.


What threats faced the roman empire?

A) Raids and attempted invasions by Germanic peoples, Iranian speaking peoples and, later, the Huns from across the northern frontiers of the Roman Empire (the rivers Rhine and Danube). B) Attacks on the eastern frontiers and areas of the empire by the Parthian and then The Sasanian empires (the third and fourth of the four pre-Islamic Persian empires). C) Paradoxically, the Roman legions (army corps) which were in charge of protecting the frontiers of the empire. The third century AD was a period of military anarchy. Most of the emperors during this period were military commanders who were proclaimed emperors by their own troops. They were often murdered by soldiers, sometimes even their own troops. There were also 35 usurper emperors who tried to take over parts of the empire after having been proclaimed emperors by their troops. Before, during and after this period there were civil wars between contenders to power which were made possible by their troops' loyalty to them. Even after the mentioned crisis there were quite a lot of usurper emperors backed by their own troops.


What potential problem was created by the roman style of military leadership?

The professionalization of the army made the soldiers loyal to the commanders of their legions. During the Late Roman Republic these men could use their soldiers to obtain what they wanted through the threat of or the use of military violence. In 71 BC Crassus and Pompey encamped their troops outside Rome to have themselves elected as consuls (the two annually elected heads of the Republic). Pompey was not even eligible on the grounds of being below the required age and of not having served some public offices which were required before the consulship. In 88 BC Sulla entered the city of Rome with his troops during his first civil war against forces of Marius, even though Roman religion forbade the bearing of arms within the city walls. In the last 64 years of the Roman Republic there were 12 civil wars. The civil wars eventually brought the Republic down. The problem persisted when the Republic was replaced by 503 years of rule by emperors. In 69 and 192-97 there were civil wars between men who fought over the title of emperor. The Crisis of Third Century (AD) was a period of military anarchy. Most of the emperors during this period were military commanders who were proclaimed emperors by their own troops. They were often murdered by soldiers, sometimes even their own troops. There were also 35 usurper emperors who tried to take over parts of the empire after having been proclaimed emperors by their troops. There were civil wars between contenders over power after this period as well. Again, they were made possible by their troops' loyalty to them. Even after the mentioned crisis there were quite a lot of usurper emperors backed by their own troops.
