Years of internal wars weakened the once powerful Greek city-states of Sparta, Athens, Thebes, and Corinth. The city-states of Ancient Greece had different governments and were constantly changing alliances. Greece was divided into city-states, constant warring between the city states weakened Greece and made it difficult to unite against a common enemy like Rome. Rome rose to power and became stronger than the individual city-states of Greece. The Greeks were finally defeated at the Battle of Corinth in 146 BC. Rome completely destroyed and plundered the city of Corinth as an example to other Greek cities. From this point on Greece was ruled by Rome. Although the Romans conquered the Greek peninsula in 146 BC, they did not take control of Egypt until 31 BC, some historians consider this to be the end of the Hellenistic Period.
