On a grand scale, which of the two nations had a better fighting force? If the Greek army at its peak fought the Roman army at its peak in even numbers who would win? It seems as though the Romans have the advantage of time, giving them better technology, but I havn't heard of too many Roman battles where the odds were so against the Romans and yet they still claimed victory, as was the case many times with the Greeks. Also, there are many more famous Roman generals than Greek generals. Was this because the focus was more on leading city states? History seems to "show off" perticular elements of a culture as that culture wrote it down, giving credit to different people.
Just something to ponder over
