Russians are employing this dastardly new technology called “mines” which no army on earth has encountered before, least of all those of the NATO members like France, Germany and the UK.

    Iirc Spartan dominance only lasted around 200 years. I will give them credit for resisting Christianity the longest of any pagan group in the Roman empire though. But early Christianity before Roman adoption was actually kinda based, so points reduced again.

    Thebes is cooler anyways, gay lovers kill protofascists is a nice story

      more like 30 years, lol. they weren’t very dominant even on the morea peninsula until the persian war, but rose in prominence through that war & the following peloponnesian war.

      thing is that the persian wars & the peloponnesian wars weren’t small or short conflicts, so the victors can’t be seen as nobodies even if the accomplishment didn’t secure them a political legacy

      There was a decent amount of hold outs all across Greece well past Roman adoption. It took a lot longer for Christianity to become the dominant and then only religion in the empire, and most converts were after Constantine made it legal(but not dominant) but before it was enforced.
