Heraclides Ponticus - born at Heraclea in Pontus, flourished in the 4th century BC. He studied philosophy at Athens under Speusippus, Plato and Aristotle. According to Suidas, Plato, on his departure for Sicily, left his pupils in charge of Heraclides. The latter part of his life was spent at Heraclea. He is said to have been vain and fat, and to have been so fond of display that he was nicknamed Pompicus, or the Showy (unless the epithet refers to his literary style). Various idle stories are related about him. On one occasion, for instance, Heraclea was afflicted with famine, and the Pythian priestess at Delphi, bribed by Heraclides, assured his inquiring townsmen that the dearth would be stayed if they granted a golden crown to that philosopher. This was done; but just as.
Egyptian chronology - constant state of transition, with much of the terminology and dating in dispute. Professor E.J. Bickerman, Chronology of the ancient world (1980: 83-84 and 106), has properly called it "the rather fluid chronology of the Pharaohs and the Hittites," adding that Ramses II's accession is dated by various Egyptologistss to 1304, 1290-92, or 1279 BC. Reliable absolute dates, astronomical or other, are lacking, as Professor Heinrich Otten had noted. It is a "rubber chronology" that you can stretch or shrink anywhere, by arbitrarily established lengths of co-regencies between rulers and even overlapping dynasties. The possibility of a calendar reform called Menophres Era may radically modify the prevailing modern Egyptian chronology, so the previous "firm" dates cannot be supported astronomically. This Menophres Era can be tied to at least four Egyptian rulers,.
Agatharchides - Greek historian and geographer, lived in the time of Ptolemy Philometor (181-146 BC) and his successors. Amongst other works, he wrote treatises on Asia, Europe and The Red Sea. Interesting extracts from the last, of some length, are preserved in Photius (cod. 213), who praises the style of the author, which was modelled on that of Thucydides. This entry was originally from the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica..
Aquileia - on the river Natiso (mod. Natisone), the course of which has changed somewhat since Roman times. Before the Romans Aquileia is believed to be a center of Venetia. It was founded by the Romans in 181 BC as a frontier fortress on the north-east, not far from the site where, two years before, Gaulish invaders had attempted to settle. The colony was led by two men of consular and one of praetorian rank, and 3000 pedites formed the bulk of the settlers. It was probably connected by road with Bononia in 173 BC; and subsequently with Genua in 148 BC by the Via Postumia, which ran through Cremona, Bedriacum and Altinum, joining the first-mentioned road at Concordia, while the construction of the Via Popilia from Ariminum to Ad Portum near Altinum.
Archons of Athens - and were in charge of the Boule and Ekklesia. There were two other archons each year, the Polemarch (until 501 BC when this position was replaced with 10 strategoi), and the Basileus, the ceremonial remnant of the Athenian monarchy. Six other men, the Thesmothetai, also served as assistants to the archons. These men are listed, where known. The Eponymous Archon gradually lost power as well, but remained as a ceremonial post. Years where the name of the archon is unknown are identified as such. Years listed as "anarchy" mean that there was literally "no archon." There are various conflicting reconstructions of lists; sources for this list are given at the end. Note that the term of an archon covered two of our years, beginning in the spring or summer and continuing.
Bari - the church of Monte Sant' Angelo sul Gargano). Adjacent is the small church of San Gregorio, belonging also to the 11th century. The castle, built in 1169, and strengthened in 1233, lies on the west side of the old town. Ancient Bari Barium -- the old latin name for Bari -- does not seem to have been a place of great importance in early antiquity; only bronze coins struck by it have been found. In Roman times it was the point of junction between the coast road and the Via Traiana; there was also a branch road to Tarentum from Barium. Its harbour, mentioned as early as 181 BC, was probably the principal one of the district in ancient times, as at present, and was the centre of a fishery. Early.
Baebius - ancient Rome. The gens was mostly obscure, but the Baebii Tamphili achieved notability in the 180s BC, two brothers serving successively as consuls. Quintus Baebius Tamphilus, praetor c. 218 BC Gnaeus Baebius Tamphilus, consul 182 BC Marcus Baebius Tamphilus, consul 181 BC Quintus Baebius Sulca, praetor 175 BC Baebius Macer, recipient of a letter from Pliny the Younger.
