The Romans had an empire, whereas the Greeks did not. The ancient Greek society consisted of several city-states, each under their own laws. The only time they united was in a time of crisis. When the crisis was over, they all went back to their own territories. The closest thing to a Greek empire was the conquests of Phillip of Macedon and his son, Alexander the great, but at Alexander's death the "empire" simply was divided and crumbled. The Greeks did have colonies in southern Italy, but they were colonies of Sparta, a city-state. In contrast, the Romans entered a territory, sometimes sent settlers there, and ruled the territory under Roman law, thereby attaining an empire.

Is Britain free?
While Britain may well be a democracy, Britain is far from a free country. as we have no constitution and euro-crates posses more power than the corrupt politicians we do have. you are not free to own guns in Britain so how are you free. freedom has no limitations, a free country dose not impose laws to limit freedom. a free country is one where the government stays out of your life, a free country is one where you get to keep the fruits of your labor. so no Britain and it 50% tax rate, ban on guns and crippling laws is not a truly free country. in a free country i would be able to own a gun, keep the money i earn and say what i want. true freedom is only present when the government fears its citizens not when the citizens fear the government.
