It’s through this coinage system, one of the first of its era for Greece, that Athens was able to effectively maintain its control over their allies and dominate from an economical point of view.

Another similarity is the city’s economic success, each city is thriving economically and can sustain their populations.

It is to the credit of White societies, that, this art is not only universalized but its social reproduction is also ensured.
