Ancient Greece

Comets have surfaced in myths and legends as evil omens. They appeared in the sky to herald the occurrence of natural disasters such as flood and famines.

Athens had a very limited farming land area with poor soil, so it had to trade with other areas to get the variety and quality of food and goods it needed. And trading expanded the economy and wealth of the city-state.

they valued it by using heros

he does not come from a rich or noble background.

As a general answer, no - but with some possibilities.

the Celts were skilled craftsmen in the production and creation of iron and steel, and are known to have produced maille (chainmail) for defence. They are likewise known to have produced helms which involved the creation of metal plates it is not impossible that the same skills were used for body defenses.

Tacitus makes reference to the German Celts wearing strong metal armour, but it is uncertain if this is solid plate, or maille.

Therefore, it should be concluded that it is certainly possible that a few rare peices of plate defence such as breastplates were made by the Celts, but there is insufficient evidence of its use to state so with absolute certainty. What is absolutely certain is their use of metal, non-plate armours.

They were called Trojan's because Troy....Trojan's....? does it sound the same?

Not at all.

First of all Greece wasn't an empire, hellenes were one of the world greatest civilizations and their home happen to be in the current Greece land.

: "Your ancestors came into Macedonia and the rest of Greece and treated us ill, without any previous injury from us. I, having been appointed commander4nchief of the Greeks, and wishing to take revenge on the Persians, crossed over into Asia, hostilities being begun by you. For you sent aid to the Perinthians,' who were dealing unjustly with my father; and Ochus sent forces into Thrace, which was under our rule. My father was killed by conspirators whom you instigated5 as you have yourself boasted to all in your letters; and after slaying Arses, as well as Bagoas, and unjustly seizing the throne contrary to the law of the Persians, and ruling your subjects unjustly, you sent unfriendly letters about me to the Greeks, urging them to wage war with me. You have also despatched money to the Lacedaemonians, and certain other Greeks; but none of the States received it, except the Lacedaemonians. As your agents corrupted my friends, and were striving to dissolve the league which I had formed among the Greeks, I took the field against you, because you were the party who commenced the hostility. Since I have vanquished your generals and viceroys in the previous battle, and now yourself and your forces in like manner, I am, by the gift of the gods, in possession of your land. As many of the men who fought in your army as were not killed in the battle, but fled to me for refuge, I am protecting; and they are with me, not against their own will, but they are serving in my army as volunteers. Come to me therefore~ since I am lord of all Asia; but if you are afraid you may suffer any harsh treatment from me in case you come to me, send some of your friends to receive pledges of safety from me. Come to me then, and ask for your mother, wife, and children, and anything else you wish. For whatever you ask for you will receiv e; and nothing shall be denied you. But for the future, whenever you send to me, send to me as the king of Asia, and do not address to me your wishes as to an equal; but if you are in need of anything, speak to me as to the man who is lord of all your territories. If you act otherwise, I shah deliberate concerning you as an evil-doer; and if you dispute my right to the kingdom, stay and fight another battle for it; but do not run away. For wherever you may be, I intend to march against you. "

Seven. The last three were to hold the pass to provoke a sea battle in the nearby strait, which was the purpose of holding the pass. The Greek fleet faled to defeat the Persian fleet, so holding the pass uned out to be of no avail.

The torso armour of Roman soldiers was the lorica hamata (mail armour), the lorica squamata (scale armour) or the lorica segmentata (broad iron strips across the body and overlapping downwards fastened to internal leather straps; additional vertical plates protected the upper arms and there was a breastplate protecting the upper torso). Greaves provided leg armour. Romans soldiers also wore a variety of helmets. The officers’ helmets had a crest at the top, so that they could be easily seen by the troops.

The soldiers wore a linen undershirt and a woollen tunic which covered the upper part of their legs. The cingulum (belt) was a soldier’s badge of office and was worn with the tunic at all times. The ‘apron’ was attached to the belt. This was a collection of decorated leather strips which gave some protection to the groin. The jingling noise they made when the soldiers marched helped to intimidate the enemy. The footwear was the caliga, leather sandals.

The soldiers also carried a heavy pack over their shoulders to carry their supplies. It weighed 90 pound and included saucepans, a shovel and apickaxe.

Trade was a fundamental aspect of the ancient Greek world and following territorial expansion, an increase in population movements, and innovations in transport, goods could be bought, sold, and exchanged in one part of the Mediterranean which had their origin in a completely different and far distant region. Food, raw materials, and manufactured goods were not only made available to Greeks for the first time but the export of such classics as wine, olives, and pottery helped to spread Greek culture to the wider world.

Ancient Greek clothing was typically homemade and the same piece of homespun fabric that was used as a type of garment, or blanket. From Greek vase paintings and sculptures, we can tell that the fabrics were intensely colored and usually decorated with intricate designs. Clothing for women and men consisted of two main garments-a tunic (either a peplos or chiton) and a cloak (himation). The peplos was a large rectangle of heavy fabric, usually wool, folded over along the upper edge so that the over fold (apoptygma) would reach to the waist. It was placed around the body and fastened at the shoulders with a pin or brooch. There were armholes were on each side, and the open side of the garment was either left that way, or pinned or sewn to form a seam. The chiton was made of a much lighter material, normally linen. It was a very long and very wide rectangle of fabric sewn up at the sides, pinned or sewn at the shoulders, and usually girded around the waist. Often the chiton was wide enough to allow for sleeves that were fastened along the upper arms with pins or buttons. Both the peplos and chiton were floor-length garments that were usually long enough to be pulled over the belt, creating a pouch known as a kolpos. Under either garment, a woman might have worn a soft band, known as a strophion, around the mid-section of the body. Men in ancient Greece customarily wore a chiton similar to the one worn by women, but knee-length or shorter. An exomis (a short chiton fastened on the left shoulder) was worn for exercise, horse riding, or hard labor. The himation (cloak) worn by both women and men was essentially a rectangular piece of heavy fabric, either woolen or linen. It was draped diagonally over one shoulder or symmetrically over both shoulders, like a stole. Women sometimes wore an epiblema (shawl) over the peplos or chiton. Young men often wore a chlamys (short cloak) for riding. Greek men occasionally wore a broad-brimmed hat (petasos), and on rare occasions, Greek women donned a flat-brimmed one with a high peaked crown.

Plato wrote the The Repbulic around 380 BCE. It is a Socratic dialogue that discusses the definition of justice, just city-states, and the just man. It is Plato's best known work and continues to be intellectually and historically influential today.
