Arguably the strongest viewpoint is that Napoleon’s regime post-1804 is more obvious and the façade Napoleon established to consolidate his power is dropped.

In my opinion, the time period from 264 BCE to 146 BCE was very interesting. During this time, we can witness the rise of the Roman Republic as a Mediterranean powerhouse as the Carthaginians and Macedonians (please note that I am not only referring to the Punic Wars in this response, but also a bit on the Roman assimilation of Greece) declined in power, eventually leading to their unfortunate demise at the hands of the Romans.

Despite the loss of control, Sparta managed to maintain political independence until the Roman conquest of Greece in 146 BC. This led to a long period of decline for the once powerful Sparta.
The Greeks had the distinction of populating Southern Italy at the beginning of the Kingdom of Rome, and were later subject to conquest on both the home peninsula and Aegea. As the Romans had done with Etruscan culture, they adopted Greek customs as time progressed.
