Cuisine of Ancient Greece - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It was customary for the Greeks to place terra cotta miniatures of their furniture in children's graves, which gives us a good idea of the style for that period.

Coin of Herod the Great: Star or Crest? In 40 BCE, Herod the Great was designated King of Judaea by the Romans, who had effectively ruled Judaea since Pompey’s conquest in 63 BCE. One such case is a Greek coin from Orthagoreia (figure 4) circa 350 BCE (Sear 1435,1436) which shows a star-like crest that is clearly attached to the helmet by a crest post. Thus the depiction of a helmet with a crest on Herod’s large bronze would be consistent with the depiction of helmets on ancient Jewish coins before, contemporaneous with, and after the issuance of Herod’s large coin. home1.gte.net /~vze3xycv/HerodHelmet.htm   (1653 words)

History of Writing and the Great Religions In any case, in 283 BCE, the royal library of Alexandria Egypt was founded (shortly after the death of Alexander the Great), the first attempt at a ``universal library.'' It began collecting books in Greek, Egyptian, Hebrew, Aramaic, Persian, Latin and even some Buddhist literature from India, presumably in Sanskrit. Thus, practical writing (and reading) methods were probably widespread among the Chinese noble class by about 800 BCE and in the Middle East and Southern Asia by about 200 BCE. So none of the great Indian religious texts (Vedas or sutras) were likely written down until AFTER 200 BCE, although the Vedas were composed around 1500-1000 BCE, the Baghavad Gita about 400 BCE, Panini's grammar of Sanskrit, 400 BCE and the early Buddhist sutras about 400 BCE. www.cs.indiana.edu /~port/teach/relg/writing.history.html   (1402 words)
