@katarzynamilioto1310 4 года назад

Palermo is actually an italianisation or latinisation of the Arabic, Balharm. That is the case for many towns in the west of Sicily, which was slightly more arabised than the very perennial Hellenic east half of the island. Other examples are Marsala ( Mars-allah or god’s port) and Pantelleria (Bintilirir, meaning daughter of the wind) or Sciacca ( Al Shaka, meaning water) and other towns.

That's why the phanalyx would shift to it's right as each hoplite would attempt to get as much of himself as he could behind the man on his rights shield.

Well the Vikings made it all the way to Canada so there is that. Greeks didn't really leave the Mediterranean until Alexander the Great's time. That was conquest rather than exploration. Other contenders for the title of greatest explorers would be the Egyptians who sent traders to India and possibly as far away as mezo America. The case of the "cocaine mummies" points to a trade link between Mezoamerica and Egypt. It is not a coincidence the natives started building pyramids around this time as well.

Honestly it’s crazy to think Rome came out on top in the Mediterranean with so many strong nations surrounding them

@nikkay82 Год назад

yes that happened coz of the greeks had thousands of wars with empires while romans just was jerking around and waiting the fall of the powers at the era.after greece became weak then they took action.

@@dontsearchdocumentingreali9621 Well, not really. The first war was only about Sicily, no further plan was prepared. The second one was the real war. At time of the third one Carthago was a mere shadow of the old Empire and the Romans just got an excuse to eradicate the city

Also good to know for interested people, after Gelon died, his brother Hieron took over power in Syracuse. He made Syracuse a centre for art and artists like Aeschylus and Pindarus came to Syracuse to perform in the most beatiful theatres.

The map of Phoenician world is highly inaccurate...as it leaves out some of the most influential and important cities of this culture such as Ugarit (modern day Latakia), where the Phoenician alphabet came to exist... basically it stretched to include almost the entire eastern coast of the Mediterranean.
