The Ecliazia and the British Empire

The British Empire basically started at the end of the Napoleonic Wars in say 1815, and it ended around 1946. The old formula that a male citizen voted in the Ecliazia, he was a hoplite in the phalanx, is starting to fade. Land aggrandizement is beginning, and mercenary troops are beginning to appear in much more frequent fashion. People were not spending money on tri-rings and one draft-med day soldiers to fight in thephalanx, they were spending money for bread and circuses in women fashion.
