 | | Greece in the 4th Century BC For all their supposed love of freedom, the Greeks in the period following the Peloponnesian war did not behave in a manner at all appropriate to free men, and it is not surprising that the Greeks soon lost their freedom. |

| | Notes: Shape and Size of the Earth |
| | Columbus had convinced himself that Asia was only 4000 kilometers west of the Canaries - thus, when he discovered land in that position, he stubbornly clung to his belief that he had landed on islands lying just off the coast of Asia, even during his three subsequent journeys to the New World. | | | The Earth is spherical - this had been known since Aristotle had figured it out a century and a half earlier. | | | No one laughed at Christopher Columbus when he said the world was round. |

| | This unit, which was the basis of the Legion of the 4th Century BC, would have been in a line with 14 other units it’s own size, to create a legion of infantry, and the total number of troops would be about 5,000 men. | | | During the 4th century, they likely continued to fight in phalanx, as those warriors did who their memories could probably still recall! These men were the eldest and most experienced men in the army, and the age range was between 45 and 60, to generalize, for these men. | | | Archers were primarily all mercenaries, I’m sure, and would have played little in the battles of the mid 4th century BC Roman field armies, which were heavily dependant on their infantry forces. |

| | During the late 1st century AD Juvenal described the moral decay of the elite and in his satires claimed that poisoning for personal benefit had become a status symbol. | | | It is likely that many innocent citizens were wrongly condemned at this early stage in the 4th century BC, when superstition was rife in Rome and scapegoats were sought. | | | From the 1st century BC onwards individual cases of poisoning increased, reaching a peak during the reign of the Julio-Claudian emperors, when ambition and political intrigues were the order of the day. |

| | Origins and Evolution in the form of 'Macedonian Tombs' |
| | The opinion of some that this feature should be attributed to foreign models has been refuted by the results of research: thus, it appears that the 'Macedonian tombs' were the outcome of a lengthy process of evolution which began with the traditional cist graves. | | | The tomb of Persephone, of the mid-4th century BC, is a cist tomb of particularly extensive dimensions with a horizontal roof of stone slabs resting on planks. | | | The larger cist tombs of Aiane and Vergina of the 5th century BC are the first instances of burial structures which present problems as to their roofing because of their larger than normal dimensions. |
