Greg,
I am not a scholar of that time in history. But the Revelation of John was supposedly written around A.D. 95 in the reign of Domitian (according to my bible which I trust is accurate). That is after the events that you are referring to. If this was a historical account then it was not prophetic when it was written but it is a revelation from the Lord to John. So it had to be about future events, not what had already happened. I also don't think the beast ruling over all tribes, tongues and peoples was accomplished because those events were on a more "local" level. I don't think any of the events of Rev. 13 about the beast have been fulfilled yet. Was a fatal wound healed, did a second beast rise up and cause all to worship the first beast who's fatal wound was healed? Did the beast deceive the "whole world" and cause fire to come down out of heaven. No. Had the Gospel of Jesus Christ been preached to every nation at that time? No. When did Marco Polo go to China? Marco Polo was born in 1254. Before he went to China that nation had never heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Now the destruction of all the rain forests has forced the last of the aboriginal tribes out into the open and into the hands of waiting missionaries. In our lifetime only has the words of Jesus in Matt. 24:14 been fulfilled.

There are many things that don't add up with the idea that the mark and the beast have already happened.
