[No title] Yet, what happened in the seventh century was of such great importance in the subsequent history of the Balkan peninsula that scholars have left no stone unturned in an effort to establish the sequence of events and clarify the numerous problems connected with them.

The Scythians - Seventh Century BCE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) In the latter half of the seventh century BCE they were reported as allies of the Assyrians against the Medes, who were rising to power in northwestern Persia, and the Cimmerians, a little-known people who preceded the Scythians in southern Russia. The Greek historian Herodotus wrote that in the fifth century BCE the Scythians ruled from the Don River, in present southern Russia, to the Carpathian Mountains, in central Europe. The Scythians lived to the north of the well-traveled trade routes we call today "The Silk Routes." Their territory was constantly being explored and sometimes colonized by settled farmers, whose own lands were becoming overpopulated or overgrazed. www.silk-road.com /artl/scythian1.shtml   (687 words)

The Development of the Byzantine Solidus Pg. 5 In the seventh century military dress fell out of fashion and was replaced by either civil or consular dress. The chlamys was first introduced under Heraclius (A.D. 610-41) in the early seventh century and became the pre-eminent form of imperial dress used on solidi during the seventh century (no. 135). With the demise of this office in the sixth century, the characteristic dress, known as the loros, had fallen out of use until it was revived at the end of the seventh century under Justinian II. www.lawrence.edu /dept/art/buerger/essays/byzant5.html   (545 words)

The Project Gutenberg eBook of WOMEN IN THE FINE ARTS FROM THE SEVENTH CENTURY B. C. TO THE TWENTIETH CENTURY A. D., by ... The sixteenth century was noteworthy for the generous patronage of art, especially in Florence, where the policy of its ruling house could not fail to produce marvellous results, and the history of the Medici discloses many reasons why the bud of the Renaissance perfected its bloom in Florence more rapidly and more gloriously than elsewhere. Italian women, especially in the second half of the century, were professors in universities, lectured to large audiences, and were respectfully consulted by men of science and learning in the various branches of scholarship to which they were devoted. The eighteenth century is important in the annals of women artists, since their numbers then exceeded the collective number of those who had preceded them—so far as is known—from the earliest period in the history of art. www.gutenberg.org /dirs/1/2/0/4/12045/12045-h/12045-h.htm   (17651 words)

Ancient coins alter Japan's cash history The threat posed by China's Tang dynasty prompted Japan to boost the state's economic strength by minting its first coins in the late seventh century, earlier than previously believed, according to an archaeologist at a national research institute. In the late seventh century, China was the only part of Asia that minted coins, known as Kaigen Tsuho, which were used also in present-day Vietnam until the late 10th century and on the Korean Peninsula until the early 12th century. Similarly, the term "tenno" (emperor) was chosen to refer to the Japanese head of state in early centuries, instead of "kotei," also translated into English as emperor, which was the name of the head of the Chinese dynasty, he said. www.trussel.com /prehist/news103.htm   (769 words)

The Heroic Age: Reviews Clonmacnoise was one of the first Irish tourist attractions, as water-colours from the eighteenth century and photographs studied by Harbison and Scary from the nineteenth century demonstrate, in two articles which provide an interesting sidelight on social and art history in Ireland as well as a record of restorations and features now lost or obscured. As to be expected of nineteenth century translations of saga literature, Powell favors the use of archaic language such as "thee, thou, spake" and unnatural syntax to remind the reader of the age and culturally remote nature of the text. The novel is set in the fifth century against a background of Roman and British cultures which are highly suspicious of one another. www.mun.ca /mst/heroicage/issues/3/reviews.html   (4495 words)

"The Date of Deuteronomy: Linch-pin of Old Testament Criticism. Part One" by Gordon Wenham According to the classic theory popularized by Wellhausen in 1878 there are four main sources in the Pentateuch: J from the tenth century BC, E from the ninth, D(euteronomy) from the seventh and P from the late sixth century. One will read these works in vain for a clear statement of why these scholars believe Deuteronomy was written in the seventh century: this dating is simply such a central element in critical tradition that it is not regarded as necessary to state the reasons for it, let alone defend them. It could be that a similar tendency is at work in the Old Testament: the prophets and religious leaders were consciously or unconsciously using a 'biblical' style of speech, because they were speaking on religious subjects and seeking to appeal to their hearers' respect for old tradition. www.biblicalstudies.org.uk /article_deut1_wenham.html   (5472 words)

The Etruscan Tombs at Cerveteri In the 6th century BC, Caere, at the height of its power, clashed, emerging victorious, with the Greeks of Italy who at the time were establishing their control on the Tyrrhenian Sea. This is a photograph of the interior of the Tomb of the Bas-relieves, Banditaccia Necropolis, and appears to date from about the seventh-century B.C. The tombs of the Etruscans were architecturally constructed to resemble their homes, and this is no exception. The long entrance way, or dromos, leads to the inner chambers; where the bodies, sarcophogii, and other artifacts are stored.Although not all tombs are standard, as may be seen in the following diagram, the same general pattern is followed in all; with the dromos opening up to the interior chambers. oncampus.richmond.edu /academics/classics/students/belanger/cerveteri.html   (1608 words)

Biography, anthology and poems of 19th Century British and American Poets The 19th century was the age of poetry. Poetry has been around in various incarnations since humans first put hand to pen....and probably even earlier; there is much scholarly belief that the earliest forms of metaphor and poetic expression spurred the very evolution of communication and language itself. For example: Tu Fu of the Tang Dynasty in China wrote in the seventh century B.C., William Shakespeare wrote his famous sonnets in the 16th century, Dante wrote his Inferno in the thirteenth century. www.2020site.org /poetry   (290 words)

Liturgy of the Mass - Section C We may say safely that a modern Latin Catholic who could be carried back to Rome in the early seventh century would -- while missing some features to which he is accustomed -- find himself on the whole quite at home with the service he saw there. Bishop (in the above-named Appendix) thinks that the Invocation of the Holy Ghost did not arise till later (Cyril of Jerusalem, about 350, being the first witness for it), that Rome never had it, that her only Epiklesis was the "Quam oblationem" before the words of Institution. We have then as the conclusion of this paragraph that at Rome the Eucharistic prayer was fundamentally changed and recast at some uncertain period between the fourth and the sixth and seventh centuries. traditionalcatholic.net /Tradition/Mass/Liturgy_of_the_Mass/Section-C.html   (2022 words)
