How exactly did the EB team come to these conclusions? I mean, how did they figure that a Nubians had such strong ethnic bonds with southern Arabians?As an example to better help your understanding of the topic at hand, Cyrene has a knack for rebelling to the Seleucids, causing an immediate war between the Seleucids and whoever owned that town first (usually the Carthaginians or Ptolemaics). Also, Ankyra tends to rebel to the Arverni, although they will sometimes rebel to the Eleutheroi as well.
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
