Ancient Greece

King Darius I sent an expedition in 490 BCE to punish and instal friendly local tyrants in Eretria and Athens in 490 BCE.

Rome began as a city-state and expanded its territory to accommodate a growing population. As it expanded, it gained allies tributary to it, and as its power grew it was invited to intervene in external problems, which embroiled it in wars which expanded its territories outside Italy. Politically it was controlled by the oligarchic Senate with the checks and balances of popular assemblies. However this system broke down resulting civil wars, which was resolved by Augustus keeping up the facade of the Republic and having reserve powers which enabled him to rule autocratically without calling himself that.

Rome ended up, through good governance, providing stability in Europe and the Middle East for hundreds of years.

Egypt was a Monarchy with strong Theocratic support. While it from time to time expanded in the eastern Mediterranean, it was essentially the territory of the Nile River, where the Pharoah ruled and organised administrative support and services for the benefit of the people. Even the pyramid workers were free men, earning a living while the flood waters prevented them from working their plots.

With the successive conquest of Egypt by the Assyrians, Persians then Macedonians, a system of exploitation was built up, which reduced the small-farmers to serfs providing tax revenues for their foreign overlords. As Egypt became critical for the grain supply of the city of Rome, after he had defeated Antony and Cleopatra, Augustus reduced it to a province with a Roman governor.

In Athens, the women stayed at home and were not aloud to go out of the house unless a man accompanies them.

In Sparta, women was allowed to learn fighting so they could get healthy sons for the army.

Greek culture has many impacts on today's society including math-the Pythagorean theorem, the Olympic games, putting together an alphabet, inventing banks, and most important creating a Democracy. Hope this helps

The greece used many natural resources for survival. For food they ate mostly fish because of the water surrounding them. They also hunt in the wild life. They grew plants and special herbs with seeds. They used wood from trees and rocks from mountains for houses and used sand for flooring. They used water of course to drink and use it to make pottery.

Typically rich aristocrats (citizens in the highest social class) headed the oligarchies of ancient Greek city-states. Additionally, military leaders were part of these types of governments. This was especially true of Sparta.

Gods are invented by humans to explain things they have no answer for.

The progressive development of knowledge about these unknowns from scientific understanding has increasingly reduced the need to have gods and religious explanations.

The real reason why rulers and citizens invest in art is because art was very expensive back than and sometimes told a story

The spread of Greek culture.

It removed the control of the oligarchs and gave the citizens control of their city-state.

The ancient Greeks included Buddhist art of the Gandhara style in their sculptures with representations of the spiritual figures, and in their 2D paintings and drawings with symbolic features of the Buddhist culture

Pisistratus was an Athenian leader who came to power in 560 B.C. He also gave the Aristrocrats land to the poor and helped Athenian trade.

It's not. The Romans would have conquered the Greeks if they were stuffed into the same world. There were way more strategists in the roman times, and strategy had developed way beyond what the Greeks could have understood. Greece was not a larger empire, only at it largest under Alexander and still not as big. Most the countries he conquered were that of a lower stature than his own. Most of them just tried to overrun him, and the few that attempted strategy were so bad at it they just got overwhelmed. Alexanders military grew with each conquering. The more countries conquered the easier it becomes. He only stopped because his troops wanted to go home. Most in roman times understood about strategy and learned it before they were allowed to command an army. Roman milatary was far better than greek milatary
