 The Celtic Tribes of Roman Gaul
In 52 BCE the tribe (lead by Dumnacus) was one of the first to join forces with Vercingetorix, however with the collapse of the resistance they were soon over-run by the Romans.
Originally (probably around 600 BCE) they may well have been a single tribe and this would have made then the largest and most powerful peoples of Gaul, though some time in their history (current estimates are around 500 BCE) they seem to have split and the two main branches became isolated from one another.
This was the spark that ignited the rebellion of Vercingetorix.

 Saturninus, pars I   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Back in 109 BCE Quintus Caecilius Metellus Numidicus was Consul, commanding the legions in the Numidian campaign, and doing a rather poor job of it.
The issues were land for veterans, citizenship for the Italians, the Senatorial Party resorting to different means including murder to thwart the decisions of the Comitia, and the Senate's usurpation of authority to bypass the laws with arbitrary edicts that controverted the laws.
But as a preview, the two praetors in 63 BCE when the trial takes place are Q Caecilius Metellus Celer, grand-nephew of Q Caecilius Metellus Numidicus, and G. Julius Caesar, born the year Saturninus was killed, the nephew of Marius and son-in-law of Cinna.

 Asian Art and Architecture: Art & Design 382/582   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
(Lee produces a date for the Andhra dynasty of 220 BCE to 236 CE.) For the purpose of looking at design it is useful to distinguish two cultural periods during their rule: Early Andhra of c 50 BCE to c 50 CE and Later Andhra of c 50 to 320 CE.
The art of the Shunga and Early Andhra periods is representative of the shravakayana phase of early Indian Buddhism, that completes the first half millennium of the Buddhist era, that the Buddha in early texts is reported to have said would be closest to the Dharma he offered.
At some time in the Shunga era a second stupa was built on the path leading up to the hill top, while the first stupa was doubled in size to about 112’ in diameter while a set of railings was built around it with openings in the four cardinal directions.

The texts range in date from the second century BCE to the fourth century CE, although the majority of the papyri are Roman in date (texts 20, a receipt for the sale of land, and 21, a marriage contract, are the only Ptolemaic pieces).
Text 20 (109 BCE, Pathyris), well known from the edition in PLBat 19 (Leiden, 1978, text 7a), is a receipt for the purchase of land and is related to a dossier concerning a loan with the land used as security.

 Iranica.com - INDO-SCYTHIAN DYNASTY
In 58/57 BCE the Vikrama era began, and it is now generally considered that this was founded by Azes, in whose named era an increasing number of inscriptions are being discovered.
It can be clearly shown that Gondophares I ruled in the last half of the first century BCE (Senior, 2001 and 2005), and therefore the Takht-i-Bahi inscription must either be dated in an earlier era (of Maues?) or, as seems most likely, refer to a different and later king called Gondophares.
It is dated in year 27 of the reign of King Vijayamitra, King of the Apraca, 73rd year of Azes, and 201st year of the Yona (or Greek) era, which places the latter era as beginning in 186/5 BCE (probably founded by Demetrios I) and the reign of Vijayamitra from ca.

The Tora became the spiritual and intellectual property of the people, and their own inner sanctuary.  Religious schools sprang up and pupils were trained in the details of their religion.  The result was the impulse to investigate, interpret, and tax their ingenuity in order to discover new hidden meanings in the Word.
It was during the Hellenistic period that local King Antiochus (about 175 BCE) encouraged his subjects to adopt a Greek lifestyle, and the upper classes in Jerusalem accepted this, but during 170-165 BCE, he outlawed Judaism and the Maccabean revolt followed.
It can be noted here that throughout the centuries, Jews were always attracted to cultural enlightenment in their surroundings, particularly when persecution let up slightly so that they might enjoy it.  And this type of cultural atmosphere always led to the adoption by Jews of given names from the surrounding culture.

 Stoicism
Its founder, Zeno (c 336-264 BCE) (not to be confused with the Eleatic Zeno), discussed philosophical ideas at the agora in the Stoa Poikile, Painted Colonnade, or porch and thus his followers came to be called Stoics or "philosophers of the porch".
Panaetius of Rhodes (c 185- 109 BCE) transformed classical [A] Stoicism into a less restrictive form, Middle Stoicism, which was more acceptable to Roman intellectuals.
He denied the Stoic principle of conflagration, the idea that periods of history ended with a fire that consumed everything, and doubted the validity of divine rationality, which put the Stoic belief of predetermined fate in question.
