	Ancient history - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ancient history is the study of significant cultural and political events from the beginning of human history until the Early Middle Ages.
		Ancient Rome contributed greatly to the development of law, war, art, literature, architecture, and language in the Western world, and its history continues to have a major influence on the world today.
		Ancient India is usually taken to refer to the "golden age" of classical Hindu culture, as reflected in Sanskrit literature, beginning around 500 BCE with the sixteen monarchies and 'republics' known as the Mahajanapadas, stretched across the Indo-Gangetic plains from modern-day Afghanistan to Bangladesh.

	Ancient Greek - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was spoken in the independent Greek city states of Classical Greece, in Alexander the Great's empire and in the kingdoms of the Diadochi, it was the second official language of the classical Roman Empire, and it was the official language of the Eastern Roman Empire in its early years (later evolving into Byzantine Greek).
		Although ancient pronunciation can never be reconstructed with certainty, Greek in particular is very well documented from this period, and there is little disagreement among linguists as to the general nature of the sounds that the letters represented.
		In Ancient Greek nouns (including proper nouns) have five cases (nominative, genitive, dative, accusative and vocative), three genders (masculine, feminine and neuter), and three numbers (singular, dual and plural).

	Ancient Ethical Theory
		Ancient moral theory, however, does not attempt to be a comprehensive account of all the phenomena that fall under the heading of morality.
		Ancient moral theory tries to provide a reflective account of an essential human activity so one can grasp what is of fundamental importance in pursuing it.
		Of course, the ancients had a rough idea of what just actions were; and this rough idea certainly contributed to the notion of a just person, and his motivation and system of values.

	Ancient Skepticism
		Ancient skepticism has a similar relationship to other philosophies which attempt to explain the oppositions the skeptics' use in arguing for skeptical conclusions.
		According to one ancient report in Diogenes Laertius, this was a practical as well as a theoretical issue for Pyrrho, who accepted skepticism “in his actual way of life, avoiding nothing and taking no precautions, facing everything as it came, wagons, precipices, dogs, and entrusting nothing whatsoever to his sensations.
		Though ancient skeptics do not as clearly anticipate modern and contemporary responses to skeptical concerns (their modern ties to liberal political concerns, for example), they very clearly understood the epistemological issues that arise when one attempts to build a rational basis for belief (issues encapsulated in the problem of the criterion and the later modes).
