Ancient Greece

It is said that the Roman Empire was at its strongest in 117AD when its territories covered 5,000,000 km² or1,930,511mi². The countries it ruled included: Rome, Greece, Britain, Gaul (France), Tunisia, Israel, Syria, Corsica, Sardinia, Cyprus, Switzerland, Romania and a few others.

The ancient Greeks were the people of Greece and who migrated from Greece to other parts of the Mediterranean, including Cyprus, Crete, Asia Minor, Sicily, and especially Southern Italy, where they carried on Greek culture. They spoke a language that was, and is, its own branch of the Indo-European Languages. They were important in the development of politics, law, philosophy, mathematics, and a host of other intellectual pursuits. They were profoundly influential on European culture.

There were several distinct clearly important periods in ancient Greek history, the first being the Mycenaean civilization, which lasted from about 1600 to 1100 BC, and the second being classical Greece, from had its origins in about 800 BC, and its flowering from about 500 to the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC. This was followed by the Hellenistic Era, when Greek influence produced Hellenistic empires and Kingdoms in Egypt and Asia. Finally, Greece was conquered by the Romans, became the center of the East Roman Empire, and developed into the medieval Roman Empire, which we call the Byzantine Empire today.

Ancient Greece is described as the glory of an ancient civilization bcause it was one of the most civilized countries of it's time. This was one of the first civilazations to have no human sacrafices to the gods and to have scholars and playwrights. It was in the ancient city of Athens that logic was born. Ancient Greece was not just the glory of ancient civilization, it was the begging of western civilization, where the hypothetical flame first started burning because it was one of the first modern civilazations.

The Olympics originated in Olympia, Greece. The Greeks, especially Spartans, valued this event so much that wars were sometimes postponed for months at a time to ensure the safety of travelers who were coming to see the games.

The Greek city-states were in constant hostility between themselves. There were brief periods of solidity under foreign invasion, and shifting alliances between groups of cities, but warfare was normal.

Many historians disagree on what the "horse" may have been and theories reign from a battering ram to an earthquake that would have left the walls of Troy weakened and easily destroyed in a battle. There are early artistic depictions of what is assumed to be the Trojan Horse but these artifacts are dated for 500 years and more after the supposed battle would have taken place.
