When it comes to the dating of the gospels Most responsible scholarship does not claim that Thomas was written in the first century, only that it preserves some sayings of Jesus in a rather primitive (and hence probably very early) form. While this might seem “late” to those who do not know the history of early Christianity, the fact is that these are the only four gospels that can be reliably dated in the first century. When it comes to the dating of the gospels, the consensus of scholarly opinion is that the gospel of Mark was written first (around 70 C.E.), that Matthew and Luke came next (between 80 and 90 C.E.), and the gospel of John was written shortly thereafter (between 90 and 100 C.E.). personal1.stthomas.edu /dtlandry/davinci/falsehood2.htm   (254 words)

In the last decade of the 3rd century BC, the Romans became involved in Euboea for the first time, because of the war they were waging in Greece against King Philip V of Macedonia, then master of the island. And thanks to the intervention of the former consul Flamininus, the Euboean cities, which might otherwise have feared severe reprisals for their behavior (in particular Chalkis, of course), were spared by the victor. www.unil.ch /esag/page26161.html   (673 words)

Roman Glassware: Cosmetic Preparation Mid 1st century A.D. Royal blue; opaque white Just as Roman perfume bottles (unguentaria) changed their shape many times over centuries, the various jars and juglets that were used to store cosmetic ingredients and herbal balms went through similar changes, their decoration following prevalent fashion trends in vessels made from more valuable materials such as bronze and silver.
