They are a mixed race. Sicily was an independent country that had its own language and government that were mixed from Greek, Arabic, and northern African influences and it eventually got conquered by Italy. They are normally concidered caucasians and whites but in a sense they are their own race/color.
The chief god of the Greeks was the sky god, Zeus. Zeus seems to have originated in the proto-Indo-European culture of eastern Europe, more than four thousand years ago, and was probably brought to Greece by some of the early Greek immigrants. Other gods may have arrived around the same time, or been assimilated from southern Europe or the Near East.
I think it means that there is never a war that benefits Also peace is never bad. I tried to put it in very simple words :)
In scene 1 Brutus said that he will never commit suicide, and will never be a prisoner dragged through the streets of Rome. In scene 5 Strato helped Brutus to commit suicide. He held his sword and Brutus run on it.
Europe is not united, and never has been. Each country within Europe has its own sovereignty and allegiances The Roman Empire never governed the whole of Europe. Much of Germany, all of Scotland and Ireland were never part of the Roman Empire. The Jutes, Angles and Saxons, for example, invaded Roman Britain from unconquered lands of Europe; the European Franks invaded the areas now called France; and the Huns and the Visigoths invaded other parts of the 'European' extent of the Roman Empire in the first 500 years AD. The fall of the Western part of the Roman Empire as often dated as 476, but individual local sovereignties had already begun to emerge by this time. After the Romans, different groups struggled for supremacy. However, not one of them achieved a united Europe. * For more information, see Related links below this box.
No Krakatau is in Indonesia. The Greeks and Romans never knew it existed.
Yes, they called it Sol. However this was the Latin word for sun. The Romans never worshiped the sun as a separate god as the Egyptians did, although the god Apollo, in some of his aspects was considered a sun-god.
For a detailed answer Ask: "Rome or Greece?" It tells you all about the Greeks and Romans, in just 3 short paragraphs, but one thing it doesn't mention is theater. the Romans STOLE theater from the Greeks. don't use the word borrow because they never gave it back.
Because he was a king of "Macedonians" which werent Greeks as Greeks say.What a greek philosopher says: ... not only no Greek, nor related to the Greeks, but not even a barbarian from any place that can be named with honors, but a pestilent knave from Macedonia, whence it was never yet possible to buy a decent slave" - Demosthenes, Third Philippic, 31.
On land, good roads made travel possible as never before. On sea, knowledge of the weather conditions and shipping lanes was a factor.
The Romans did not owe the ancient Greeks any debts. They never got indebted with the Greeks. The Romans were heavily influenced by the Greeks. They adopted some of their gods (Castor and Pollux, Apollo, Asclepius, and Cybele) and liked their gods to the Greek ones. The first teachers in Rome were Greek and Romans modelled their education on Greek education. The elites were educated in both Latin and Greek and were fluent in Greek. They adopted the Greek styles for making columns (Doric, Ionian, and Corinthian), Greek medicine and Greek sports. They also adopted and improved on the Greek cranes and ballistas (crossbow-like catapults). Later Roman sculpture was modelled on the Hellenistic sculpture of the Greeks.
The Greeks never lived in the u.s.
Although the Romans worshipped many of the Greek gods, under Roman names, there were differences in the two religions. The Romans also had gods they inherited from their Etruscan neighbours, although by and large the Greek gods became more important. The Romans never really adopted the Greek belief in oracles. On the other hand, the Romans followed a form of shamanism and divination.
Even though Abraham Lincoln volunteered in the Illinois Militia, he never actually saw combat. He never received any military honors or decorations.
They never occupied Ireland although there is a suggestion they were looking at the possibilty of doing so. There are Roman artefacts found around Dublin and the Town of Chester (then Deva) was one of the biggest forts in the whole empire. The only reason for this would be the conquest of Ireland. The Empire fell into civil war and then collapsed before they made a move on Ireland.
The Romans never conquered the Seleucid Empire.
