 Archimedes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Archimedes of Syracuse (circa 287 BC - 212 BC), was a Greek mathematician, astronomer, philosopher, physicist and engineer.
Using only ancient Greek geometry, he also gave the equilibrium positions of floating sections of paraboloids as a function of their height, a feat that would be taxing to a modern physicist using calculus.
Apart from general physics he was an astronomer, and Cicero writes that in the year 212 BC when Syracuse was raided by Roman troops, the Roman consul Marcellus brought a device which mapped the sky on a sphere and another device that predicted the motions of the sun and the moon and the planets (i.e.

 Review of unique Greek approaches to democracy by Cleisthenes
The establishment of the plebeian assembly in 494 led to greater plebeian participation in the government, especially in 287 BC, when decisions and legislation of the plebeian assembly were binding on the entire Roman citizenry.
The conflict between the aristocracy and the plebeians became intensified after 200 BC because of the growing gap between the rich and the poor.

 Plebs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Even so, the "Conflict of the Orders" over the political status of the plebeians went on for the first two centuries of the Republic, ending with the formal equality of plebeians and patricians in 287 BC.
The plebeians achieved this by developing their own organizations (the concilia plebis), leaders (the tribunes and plebeian aediles), and as the ultimate weapon used the secessio, by which the plebeians would literally leave Rome, effectively boycotting the city.
This is recorded to have happened five times, although only the last (in 287) is believed to be accurately documented.

Under his guidance the school flourished greatly - there were at one period more than 2000 students--and at his death he bequeathed to it his garden with house and colonnades as a permanent seat of instruction.
