What was the most powerful ancient country?

Answer 1

Most Probably the Romans, reason being they took over most of the world due to their tactical skills and size of their army

the roman army were best known for their organization and discipline., one of the best achievements of ancient Rome was their sophisticated roads and highway system that allowed legionaries to march swiftly throughout their vast empire. there goes logistics.,

the greek phalanx may be unstoppable, the mounted archers of the huns may be very effective killing machines, but nothing beats roman tactical superiority.

Answer 2

The most powerful ancient country ever is Iran! For thousand of years, Iran had been able to have a stable empire from very west to the east of the world. And It is still called with that ancient name which makes it the oldest established country!

I would have to say Greece. When Alexander the great conquered Europe Greece was the biggest country and had the most powerful army in the world

The Roman Empire because it built modern Europe.

Answer 3

It is not easy to say clearly. It depend on which specific time you are talking about.

Generally we can say that:

Sparta is the first choice for the best army.

But Athens had the best navy. ((this depends on the time frame too, at one time it was the Myceneans before them the minoans))

Thebes, for a short time was the example of the best army. (( the sacred band and the thebans defeated the Spartans and Taught the macedonians how to fight, alot of their tactics were adopted by and modified by the macedonians))

Finally Macedonia won them all.

Minoans were the best from around 3000 bc to 1700 bc

Myceneans were the best from about the decline of minoa to the rise of the doric Greeks (about 1700 bc -1100 bc)

the Dorians from 1100 bc to about 700 bc

Spartans from 700 bc - 500 bc

Athens (because they had an empire and for a time were richer and more powerful than Sparta, which was what led to the pelopanesian wars) 500 bc - 400 bc

Sparta 400 bc - 380 bc

thebes 380 bc - 360 bc

macedonians 360 bc -320 bc ( it split up after that )

Syracuse probably takes the lead around the time of the punic wars, they had Archimedes, a large powerful army and navy that held back rome.
