[QUOTE="Dr. Strangemonkey, post: 1000205, member: 6533"] The Etruscans would still be a force for some time. Even during the second Punic war there was some concern that the Etruscans would rise again. The Greek colonies in Sicily would be doing very very well during this period. There would be Celtic groups everywhere. At some point there is even a Celtic culture in Asia Minor though I don't know if they enter before or after this period. If I remember my military history accurately India would be big into foot archers during this period. There might still be chariots and there were a comparatively large amount of elephants. They had trouble getting good horses, but I'm certain this was less true on the Easter edge. While Alexander didn't have that huge an influence on India there were some elements of Greek culture that got distributed into the sub-continent. Art historians believe that Indian 'twisty' sculptor is an innovation resulting from contact with the Greeks. [/QUOTE]
