Ancient Warfare podcast (348): Greece in the fourth century BC
With the end of the Peloponnesian War, the balance of power in Greece and the Aegean Sea changed substantially. The Athenian-led Delian League was disbanded and Sparta attempted to bring much of Greece under its sway. Meanwhile, everyone had discovered that Persian influence and money was available to the right negotiator. This led to new alliances, pooling their resources in manpower, money, and ingenuity. And a lot of experimentation on the battlefield. Today, the team discusses these issues to go with Ancient Warfare issue 101.
