<p>[QUOTE=&quot;EWC3, post: 4569080, member: 93416&quot;]At least as far as domestic policy goes I would make Caesar more Whiggish than Xenophon.&nbsp; Do you disagree?&nbsp; For instance Caesar seems to be boosting the money supply by coining reserves, and by prohibitions on hoarding, while Xenophon, (like Plato and the Spartans), did not seem to like cash and markets at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>I suspect Xenophon would see Caesar as something of a tyrant/demagogue.</p><p><br /></p><p>To be honest I find Xenophon kind of simplistic in a rather unpleasant sort of way.&nbsp; His answer to Athenian political problems seem to be just &#039;get more slaves&#039;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Around 9 AD Wang Mang in China had made the sale of slaves illegal in China - so in objective terms neither X nor C come out smelling of roses - but I find Xenophon harder to like</p><p><br /></p><p>Rob T[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
