Milton: Areopagitica - Notes Epicurus (341-270 BCE) taught that all matter is composed of irreducible atoms, which are eternal, and hence were not made by a divine creator. One of his students, Diogenes the Cynic (died 320 BCE), developed such a reputation for inpudent and insolent rhetoric that the whole school came to be characterized by his practice. Archilochus of Paros (seventh century BCE) was a lyric and satiric poet, notable for having invented the iambic trimeter and trochaic tetrameter. www.dartmouth.edu /~milton/reading_room/areopagitica/notes.shtml   (6729 words)

Tribuni militum consulari potestate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It seems to have been a matter of choice of the people whether a body of Consular Tribunes, or Consuls were to be elected for a given year, and thus we see periods of either office interspersed with the other. The number of Consular Tribunes varied, from 2 to 6, and because they were considered colleagues of the two Censors there is sometimes mention of the "eight tribunes". The practice of electing consular tribunes ended in 366 BCE when the Lex Licinia Sextia took effect, allowing the Plebeian order access to the office of Consul. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Consular_tribune   (192 words)

A TIMELINE OF MATTER Metallurgy : from previous to 6000 BCE copper is smelted from malachite which is found in surface deposits and later mined; copper is molded into many types of household items, cooking vessels and utensils, and tools, but is too soft to hold an edge, and therefore of limited use in the production of weapons. Around 3500 BCE however, a method of strengthening copper is finally discovered: by mixing the molten metal with around 15% molten tin, the alloy called bronze is produced. century BCE, and a 160 year old observation of the autumnal equinox, he also discovered the principle of the Precession of the Equinoxes, that is, the conical motion of the earth’s axis around the pole of the ecliptic plane every 26,000 years, shifting the position of pole stars in a projected circular motion. azothgallery.com /matter.html   (1330 words)

political.html The Ludi Victoriae Sullanae, to commemorate Sulla's victory in 81 BCE, lasted a full week in the autumn and were considered important enough to be staged by praetors (Scullard 196). This is evidenced by one set of Games being scheduled for 217 BCE specifically to please Jupiter (Piganiol 79)...which is awfully close to the threat of Hannibal becoming apparent. In 186 BCE consuls scheduled lengthy festivities at which adults would die during Games and the city would be purified in order to please the gods after a temple had been struck by lightning (Scullard 156). faculty.vassar.edu /jolott/old_courses/republic1998/games/political.html   (968 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 noble class by about 800 BCE in China. 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   (1424 words)
