The ruler fought in battels and won so the people like him and voted him ruler 4 life and he took control of every thing and started concurring empires!!
Practically the Romans won since they had a stronger and bigger army.
Empire?The Greeks had no empire. We are technically wrong to call them Greeks collectively. They were either Athenians or Thebans or Spartans etc.
Athens built a sort of empire through intimidating those in the Delian league into becoming their vassals, regularly paying tribute of grain.
Actually the Athenians did have an empire, it was called the 'Delian League,' established after the Persian Wars ended in 479 BC. Athens was the leader, and exacted tribute from the other members scattered around the Aegean. In effect, it was an empire, but it ended after the Peloponnesian Wars from 431-404 BC.
AnswerThe Byzantine empire was known, interestingly, as both the Second Roman Empire and the Second Greek Empire. It was the successor to the Roman Empire (being the Eastern Roman Empire, with the Western half having fallen), but by a short while after being separated from the West Roman Empire, it was controlled mostly by the Greeks - the capital, even, being the Greek City of Byzantian/Byzantium (named after the founder of the city, Byzas), being renamed to Constantinople after the emperor Constantine.4

∙ 12y agoAlthough most people would probaly say the Greeks, the Romans probaly were.
Most people who say Greece are unimformed:
They see movies like 300 and think the Greeks are cool
They find the idea of Sparta as cool
They love Alexander. They don't realise he was Macedonian and that the Greeks refused to call him a Greek.
They think the Eastern Roman Empire/ Byzantine empire was inspired by Ancient Greece. But it was actually based on the Roman Empire.
They don't know that Greek people called themselves Romans and not Greeks up to the 18th century
Most supporters of Greece see people like the Spatans as cool and don't realise what the proper society was like
The Greeks did though make great scientic and philosophical discoveries
The Romans meanwhile:
They were great architects. The Romans made excellent roads and aqueducts and much better buildings.
The Romans were excellent politicians. Romans ran a repubic that lasted 500 years and after that ran system of emperors which lasted 500 years
The Romans actually inspired the Rennaisance a lot more than the Greeks. The Renaissance was actually an attempted rebirth of roman civilsation.

∙ 9y agoWell, in the early BC ages, the Greek Cities Such as Sparta, Athens, and many others were very powerful, but the roman houses the Brutii, the Scipii, and the Julii joined forces to take out the gauls,Greeks,macedonians, and many other nations. During the siege of Sparta, it was about 20,000 soldiers against 2,000 defenders, because the spartan army was out campaigning in Carthage. But reinforcments arrived and lifted the siege. But eventually the Romans did conquer the Greeks thus making them "more powerful" but overall, the Greeks WERE stronger than the Romans, because they ruled for a longer time, and had hopilte phalanxes, and skilled archers. the Romans only had auxillery troops, some weak cavalry, and measly archers. So in conclusion the Greeks were by far physically and mentally stronger than the Romans.

∙ 13y agoThe Roman empire was bigger than the Greek "empire" because the Greeks had no empire. Greece was a collection of independent city-states. Alexander the great did a lot of conquering and spread Greek culture throughout the mideast and beyond, but when he died, it all fell apart. Rome, on the other hand, kept and administered its territories thus solidifying its empire.

What was the Eastern Roman Empire known also as?
The Eastern Roman Empire is known as Byzantine Empire. However, this is a term which had been coined by historians. So are the term Eastern Roman Empire and Western Roman Empire. The Romans had only one term: Roman Empire. Historians use the term Byzantine Empire to indicate the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire. The Romans did not use this term, they called it Roman Empire or Romania (this referred to this empire and not the country which was later called Romania). The term Byzantine is derived from Byzantium, the Greek city which was redeveloped, turned into the imperial capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire and renamed Constantinople by emperor Constantine the Great in 330. It is used to indicate the fact that not long after the fall of the western part, this empire became centred on Greece and Greek in character after it lost most of its non-Greek territories. Greek replaced Latin as the official language of this empire in 620, some 150 years after the fall of the west

How did the Byzantine Empireinfluence Greek culture?
The Byzantine Empire was the name given to the eastern half of the Roman Empire when it was split in two to make it more manageable. They didn't call it that - we do so now for convenience after it's capital Byzantium, which was renamed Constantinople after its emperor Constantine the Great.The eastern Empire was always Greek - it incorporated all the eastern Greek cities and territories in the east which Rome had incorporated within its empire in the 2nd and 1st Centuries BCE. So it's culture was always Greek, including language. Latin was spoken by Roman administrators, and it thought itself as Roman, but it was thoroughly Greek; even the Jewish upper classes spoke Greek, dressed in Greek style, had Greek theatre and had operations to reverse circumcision so they didn't look mutilated at the baths.When the western Roman Empire was taken over by the Germanic and other peoples, the Roman Empire was the Greek-cultured eastern part which survived for another thousand years until Turkish takeover.
