  Sparta - Crystalinks
In 449 BCE the war was ended by a five years' truce, but after Athens had lost her mainland empire by the battle of Coronea and the revolt of Megara a thirty years' peace was concluded, probably in the winter 446-445 BCE.
That the terms of the Peace of Nicias, which in 421 BCE concluded the first phase of the war, were rather in favour of Sparta than of Athens was due almost entirely to the energy and insight of an individual Spartan, Brasidas, and the disastrous attempt of Athens to regain its lost land empire.
The final success of Sparta and the capture of Athens in 405 BCE were brought about partly by the treachery of Alcibiades, who induced the state to send Gylippus to conduct the defence of Syracuse, to fortify Decelea in northern Attica, and to adopt a vigorous policy of aiding Athenian allies to revolt.

Kimon came to prominence after the ouster of Themistokles (Themistocles) and in 479 BCE he was elected strategos which gave him almost unlimited powers in regard to Athenian military policy; he was less confrontational (some would say sympathetic) with Sparta and more focused on the subjugation of the islands and colonies of the Aegean Sea.
An Athenian statesman; circa 515-495 BCE; after the ouster of the tyrant, Hippias, Kleisthenes led the popular movement for the establishment of a democratic state instead of a tyranny or oligarchy; he is most noted for redistributing the lands of Attika (Attica) into ten “tribal” divisions; each section was called a deme.
Kleomenes went to Athens in 508 BCE to impose a solution to the dispute over the Athenian constitution, he was subsequently trapped on the Akropolis (Acropolis) and only allowed to leave after he promised to never return to Attika (Attica); the dates given for his rule are extrapolations and should be used only as approximations.

In the classical era, Rhetoric was a major cultural force—tied to governmental practice and the rise of textual literacy.
Socrates (469-399 BCE) is against the Sophists because he believes that the only worthy goal of Rhetoric is to pursue absolute truth (allegory of the cave, realm of the forms).
Aristotle (384-322 BCE) was a student of Plato’s, who went on to found his own school (one of his pupils was the ruler Alexander the Great) and to become one of the widest ranging and most important writers in the Western tradition.

 Morgantina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The earliest historical date associated with Morgantina is 459 BCE, when Douketios, leader of the indigenous Sikel population of central Sicily, attacked the city and captured it.
Morgantina was probably still under Douketios' control when he was defeated at Nomai by Syracuse in 449 BCE.
No further mention of Morgantina is made until Thucydides lists it as part of the terms of a truce in the war of 427–424 BCE between Syracuse and the Dorian cities of Sicily on one side, and Kamarina, the Khalkidian cities of Sicily, the Sikels, and Athens on the other side.

Livy refers to a cultus already established in 449 BCE and the presence of the Apollinar (open cult place of Apollo), located outside the pomerium (city boundary) of Rome-- ascertaining a marked presence, perhaps even during the Monarchy.

In the early fourth century BCE the duomviri sacris faciundis (“two men of sacred action”-later a college that was responsible for keeping, and when required, consulting the Sibylline oracles) supervised the first ceremony of the lectisternium or “draping of the couches”.

Their fathers had defeated the Persians (480-479 BCE), and the city was rightly famous for this victory.
Besides, the economy was functioning well, and Athens was the leader of the Delian League, a position that it used unhesitatingly to impose tribute.
Once, the Athenian leader Aristides had organized the League as a confederacy of equal states with equal rights (isonomia), but in the decades between 479 and 449 BCE, Athens had seized the initiative and had started to regard the other towns as subjects.

In 449 BCE he issued a decree banning the mining of silver by the city states of the Delian League, forcing them to utilize Athenian coinage, weights and measures.
In 405 BCE, the new Spartan navy, by a lucky sneak attack, destroyed a grotesquely incompetent Athenian fleet near the mouth of the Black Sea.

The tragedies and comedies of the fifth and fourth centuries BCE that remain to us today were almost all written for performance in the Theatre of Dionysos at Athens.
The Theatre of Dionysos was first dug out of the slope beneath the south side of the Acropolis in the late 6th century BCE, possibly while Athens was still under the rule of the Peisistratid dynasty.
The archaeological evidence suggests that between 460 and 431 BCE (and probably at the time the Odeion was built) the orchestra was shifted north and west of its original position, and the hillside excavated further to make a more secure foundation for the wooden seats.

 What is Direct democracy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Direct democracy was first experimented with in the ancient Athenian democracy of ancient Greece (beginning circa 508 BCE (Finley, 1973)), which was governed for two centuries by a general assembly of all male citizens, by randomly selected officials, and one elected representative charged to command the army of the city (strategos).
The ancient Roman Republic's "citizen lawmaking" -- citizen formulation and passage of law, as well as citizen veto of legislature-made law -- began about 449 BCE and lasted the approximately four hundred years to the death of Julius Caesar in 44 BCE.
The presence of citizen lawmaking in Rome's governance was a strong, contributing factor to the rise of Rome, and its Greco-Roman civilization, to a greatness all out of proportion to the rest of the ancient world (Carey, 1967).

 Ancient Roman History Timeline II
A seminal event, Rome's success in its first major wars, first against the town of Fidenae, followed by its defeat of the Etruscan city of Veii in 406-396 BCE, are seen by some historians as laying the foundation for the militaristic underpinnings of Roman society.
Success in these wars allowed for its expansion of territory, and now, as a proven formidable opponent, Rome was seen as a potential danger by some, and a desired ally by others.
The problem is these two were joint rulers from 170 to 164 BCE, and Plutarch simply says "Ptolemy".
