Food and drink keep us alive. They feed our imagination and stimulate our senses. They communicate beliefs. They distinguish rich from poor. They are a blessing that can sometimes become a curse. Each of these statements would have been equally true in the ancient Mediterranean world. This exhibit has been designed by undergraduate students to provide just a 'taste' of the complexities of Greco-Roman food production and consumption. Many - but by no means all! - of the 'foo Read More Go to Site

		DRF--Friesland History ^Votes:0 Frisian History Gateway to Friesland The Frisian history in a nutshell Long before the Roman Era, the so-called proto-Frisians were a Teutonic tribe, living on the northern coast of The Netherlands between the 'Vlie' (the sea between the Frisian islands Terschelling and Vlieland) and the river Eems (the river between the north of present Germany and The Netherlands). In 12 B.C., the Frisians were submitted to Nero Claudius Drusus (38-9 B.C.) , a Roman general, son to emperor Tiberius Claudius Nero and stepson to emperor Augustus. In the year 28, the Frisians revolted against the Roman occupants and brought them heavy losses. The Romans withdrew their troups East of the Rhine after being defeated in A.D. 9 by the Charuscan prince Arminius (Herrmann) in the Teutenburger Forest. Between 50 an Read More Go to Site

		Global Lithuanian Net. COSMOLOGY OF THE ANCIENT BALTS ^Votes:0 COSMOLOGY OF THE ANCIENT BALTS Vytautas Strai?ys and Libertas Klimka Institute of Theoretical Physics and Astronomy, Gostauto 12, Vilnius 2600, Lithuania Vilnius Pedagogical University Student? 39, Vilnius 2600, Lithuania Summary. The paper reviews the outlook of ancient Balts on the structure and origin of the world as reconstructed from the archaeological excavations, folklore, mythology, linguistics and chronicles. Conclusion is drawn that 4 - 5 thousand years ago the ancestors of the modern Baltic nations (Lithuanians and Latvians) had developed views on the relations between man and natural forces, on the origin of the world and its construction, based on religious and mythological notions. Later on, this cosmological interest developed into astronomical observations, finding the regu Read More Go to Site

		The Celts: People of Wonder ^Votes:0 The Celts: People of Wonder by S.S. and J.P. Historians have no written records of the Celts until the Christian era, but much can be speculated. Although the Druids (Celtic priests) could read and write, they preferred to use oral tradition in the form of verse. Originally from Eastern Europe, the Celts migrated to Ireland at the end of the Bronze Age. They began to use iron in 700 BCE and excelled at working with the iron they found in the land. According to Neill (1979), the Celts lived in two distinct groups. Inside each group the people live in isolated farm homesteads or small towns. These were called clans. The clans grouped into separate self-governing tribes. (There were over 150 known tribes.) Each clan had twenty seven different social classes. Lawyers held the highest position.

		The Significance of Celtic Coinage ^Votes:0 The Significance of Celtic Coinage See also Money in Fiction "Traditional historians have tended to overlook the role played by Celtic coinage in the early history of British money." There is a paucity of written evidence from the period before the Roman conquest but "hundreds of thousands of Celtic coins have been found, mostly on the Continent, where hordes of up to 40,000 coins have been discovered. In a number of instances we have learned of the existence of certain rulers only through their representation on coins (though some are spurious)." The quotations are from page 114 of the 3rd edition of the book by Glyn Davies , (or page 113 in the 1st and second editions). Davies, Glyn.
