Greece's culture of constant barbaric fighting (ironic,they coined the term barbarian) influenced nothing outside of the Mediterranean. Look at China

China is a world away. Greece still influenced many cultures.


Lucid, your point on auxiliary still doesn't denounce it. Barbarians were fighting for Rome instead of true " Romans". Without loyalty, what is an army?

You didn't state loyalty as an issue. You stated that they were enemies and now they fought for them.



I was comparing achaemenid Persia to Greece, not both. Besides, that was just the tip of the iceberg for Persia's many contributions to empires.


Greece also contributed to empires.

To be honest this whole thread is gay.

I support LGBT rights

Aaaand...ignored.

Scraw!
