 Metapontum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Another and a more plausible statement is that the new colonists were at first engaged in a contest with the Tarentines, as well as the neighbouring tribes of the Oenotrians, which was at length terminated by a treaty, leaving them in the peaceable possession of the territory they had acquired.
At the time of the Athenian expedition to Sicily, 415 BCE, the Metapontines at first, like the other states of Magna Graecia, endeavoured to maintain a strict neutrality; but in the following year were induced to enter into an alliance with Athens, and furnish a small auxiliary force to the armament under Demosthenes and Eurymedon.
Its name is again mentioned in 345 BCE, when Timoleon touched there on his expedition to Sicily, but it does not appear to have taken any part in his favour.

 Christianity vs Paganism
It was on this date, October 9, 28 BCE, that the Temple of Apollo was dedicated on the Palatine Hill in Rome.
That this magnificent temple no longer exists — it was burned down on 18 March 363 — is a tragedy to art and to scholarship, but also characteristic of the Christian attitude toward pagan culture.
The forged decree became law and was renewed, sometimes expressly including the death-sentence, in 345, 350, 381, 383, 386, and 391.

 Light Reading - Teleglobe & BCE: Bad Vibes Up North - Telecom News Analysis
BCE's pullout has also unleashed a string of lawsuits (and rumors of lawsuits) on behalf of Teleglobe shareholders, bondholders, and other interested parties.
For one thing, BCE is one of Canada's top two carriers, the other being Telus Corp. (NYSE: TU - message board; Toronto: T), so its fortunes are closely tied to those of the North American telecom market, of which Canadian carriers account for roughly 16 percent.
Sources say the potential regroupings at BCE also reflect an season of reckoning up north, one that will ultimately lead to a bottoming out in carrier spending in Canada next year -- a trend that is bound to tug negatively at the North American carrier equipment market.

 History of Rome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Archaeological finds have confirmed that in the 8th century BCE in the area of the future Rome there were two fortified settlements, the Rumi one on the Palatine Hill and the Titientes one on the Quirinal Hill, backed by the Luceres living in the nearby woods.
The traditional date of founding (753 BCE) is a conventional date set much later by the historian Varro, assigning a length of 35 years to each of the seven generations corresponding to the seven mythological kings.
In the 8th century BCE, these Italic speakers — Latins (in the west), Sabines (in the upper valley of the Tiber), Umbrians (in the north-east), Samnites (in the South), Oscans and others — shared the peninsula with two other major ethnic groups: the Etruscans in the North, and the Greeks in the south.

When Hebrew mythical thought met Greek philosophical thought in the first century B.C.E. it was only natural that someone would try to develop speculative and philosophical justification for Judaism in terms of Greek philosophy.
Philo's philosophy represented contemporary Platonism which was its revised version incorporating Stoic doctrine and terminology via Antiochus of Ascalon (ca 90 B.C.E.) and Eudorus of Alexandria, as well as elements of Aristotelian logic and ethics and Pythagorean ideas.
470 B.C.E.), contemporary of Socrates, interpreted the gods of Homeric stories as personifications of those natural substances that are useful to human life [e.g., bread and Demeter, wine and Dionysus, water and Poseidon, fire and Hephaestus].
