Default Re: Philosophers + Drain

I thought I said this was done with... anyway, the Romans had a larger amount of land under control under one political order than any Greek or Macedonian ever did (with the exception of Alexander the Great.) That's how they were able to build such monumental roads and aquaducts. Most Byzantine Emperors were indeed Greek, and even the ones who weren't were under the influence of Greek culture. Oh, and the Greeks did set aside their differences when faced with the Persian threat under Xerxes (31 Greek city-states and regions fought together against the Persians, even though the Persians did have some small number of traitorous Greeks to assist them.)

P.S. Are we done yet??
