c. Artisans are well-provided for and impact their culture.

  • This indicates a period of stability and prosperity in the life of an empire, which typically corresponds to its "adult phase" or maturity. During this stage, the empire has typically finished its expansion and has settled into a period where culture, economy, and infrastructure are flourishing. Artisans being well-provided for suggests that the economy is stable enough to support and value the arts, which often leads to cultural development and influence.
