These societies laid the foundation for all of Western Civilization and paved the way for

Modern World History…

Page 9: Classical Civilizations Greek (1780 – 133 b.c.e .) & Roman (509 b.c.e . – 476 c.e .)

The Greeks and Romans created unique civilizations at different times;

but they did overlap, borrow, copy, influence, share and fight with one another to develop the “classical”

societies of the Mediterranean World.

After the Mycenaeans fell, another group called the “Dorians” ruled during a “dark ages” (1100 b.c. – 800 b.c.) in which little learning and cultural development took

place…

Just as a man constructs a wall for some high house,using well-fitted stones to keep out forceful winds,that’s how close their helmets and bossed shields lined up,shield pressing against shield, helmet against helmetman against man. On the bright ridges of the helmets,horsehair plumes touched when warriors moved their heads.That's how close they were to one another.(Iliad 16.213–7, Ian Johnston, translator)

Info about Coliseum…The Coliseum still ranks as one of the most famous buildings in the world - nearly 2,000 years after the first stone was laid.

Covering 7.5 acres, this architectural marvel was a declaration of Empirical power, engineering ingenuity, and human achievement.

Seating around 50,000, its purpose was entertainment, spectacle, and death…

Page 42: Classical Civilizations Greek (1780 – 133 b.c.e .) & Roman (509 b.c.e . – 476 c.e .)

It was built on the site of an artificial lake within the grounds of Nero's Golden House. This decadent palace had previously covered nearly a quarter of the entire city.

Vespasian's intention was to give a piece of the Empire back to the Roman people. Work began in AD75, and took just 5 years to complete.

Officially known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, the Coliseum was commissioned by the 9th Roman Emperor Vespasian.

It stands beneath the Oppian hill surrounded by three more of Rome's famous seven hills: Coelian, Esquiline and Palatine.

Page 45: Classical Civilizations Greek (1780 – 133 b.c.e .) & Roman (509 b.c.e . – 476 c.e .)

Once finished, a celebration began that lasted 100 days. During this frenzied carnival, over 5,000 animals were slaughtered and the entire floor of the Coliseum was flooded for a mock sea battle.

It set the tone for a century of similar epic events.

The Emperor Trajan held a festival that lasted for more than three months. 11,000 Jews, Christians, slaves, and gladiators lost their lives, and as many as 5,000 wild animals imported from Africa and Asia were slain.

In fact, experts believe that the Roman's quest for lions, elephants, and hippopotamuses actually caused their disappearance from some parts of Africa.

Page 46: Classical Civilizations Greek (1780 – 133 b.c.e .) & Roman (509 b.c.e . – 476 c.e .)

The Coliseum was a triumph of design and engineering.

At its heart stood the arena: a wooden stage covered in a 15cm layer of sand. This was to soak up the blood from the endless parade of murderous entertainment.

The Coliseum's perimeter wall was divided into 80 entrance arches, known as vomitoria. Four of these were designated solely for Emperors and dignitaries.

Above, two further tiers repeated the arches, creating a network of vaults like a honeycomb. The walls were covered in shiny white marble with painted stucco ceilings.

The forth level - devoid of arches - was designed to house an awning to shade the audience.

Page 47: Classical Civilizations Greek (1780 – 133 b.c.e .) & Roman (509 b.c.e . – 476 c.e .)

Just as regimented order was crucial to Rome's military success, architects planned new buildings with strict rules of scale and balance.

The width of the Coliseum walls exactly equaled the overall width of the arena, 48.5 m (158 ft). This measurement also equaled the height of the four-storey external facade.

Archaeologists believe there would have been floor plans drawn to scale, perspective drawings, and detailed 3-D models. Essentially, the structure would have been designed using the same methods as modern architects.

Only by using these planning methods could the Roman architects achieve the precise proportions that they envisioned.

Page 48: Classical Civilizations Greek (1780 – 133 b.c.e .) & Roman (509 b.c.e . – 476 c.e .)

Two-thirds of the Coliseum have been lost to the ravages of time. Historians have evidence of the coliseum’s construction that included the following:

A network of drains built beneath the Coliseum diverted the streams from nearby hills and valleys to Rome's main sewer to allow the coliseum to be flooded for mock naval battles.

Concrete (*) was used for the foundations of the oval perimeter walls, arches and for the inner circle of the arena. the amphitheatre had a prominent position as a result of being built on a man-made hill of rubble and dirt.

A system of winches and pulleys were incorporated into the coliseum and were used to release animals, gladiators, or scenic props onto the arena via trapdoors.

Page 49: Classical Civilizations Greek (1780 – 133 b.c.e .) & Roman (509 b.c.e . – 476 c.e .)

Gladiatorial performances symbolized the Roman Empire's military might.

The gladiatorial tradition was a fixture of Roman culture (adopted from the etruscans) and lasted for around 700 years.

These professional combatants usually fought to the death.

The first ever mention of gladiators dates back to 264 BCE. Theses were slaves who were made to fight to the death at the funeral of a distinguished aristocrat, Junius Brutus Pera.

For some who had been forced into slavery, becoming a gladiator was the first step on the road to freedom. They were paid each time they fought. If a gladiator survived three to five years of combat they were freed.

Page 50: Classical Civilizations Greek (1780 – 133 b.c.e .) & Roman (509 b.c.e . – 476 c.e .)

Generally, the Gladiator's social standing was little higher than a slave. However, some gladiators reached superstar status for their skills in combat.

In fact, there's evidence that Roman women from the ruling classes idolized these stage warriors. The mother of the Emperor Commodus, is believed to have had a crush on the gladiator Martianus.

Historians have also learned from graffiti found in Pompeii that the Thracian fighter, Celadus, appears to have been the superstar of his day!

“Suspirum et decus puellaru”, reads the inscription.

Literally, the sigh and glory of the girls - or Celadus makes the girls scream!

Page 51: Classical Civilizations Greek (1780 – 133 b.c.e .) & Roman (509 b.c.e . – 476 c.e .)

Gladiators trained together in a garrison-like environment, and often traveled around parts of the empire in troupes. One of the finest preserved examples is the Gladiator Barrack in Pompeii, where excavations have revealed armour, weapons, and helmets.

These academies were privately owned, but were adopted by the state to prevent them turning into private armies which could threaten the Empire.

Gladiators would have trained in much the same way that athletes do today, with rigorous exercise and carefully controlled high-energy diets. They would have learned deadly skills with an array of weapons, including daggers, swords, nets, and chains.

Page 52: Classical Civilizations Greek (1780 – 133 b.c.e .) & Roman (509 b.c.e . – 476 c.e .)

Gladiators fought each other in pairs.

In some of the mighty imperial celebrations there were sometimes as many as 5,000 battling duos. On an average day, however, there might have been as many as 100 clashing pairs.

There were various disciplines of gladiators who would have been armed and armoured differently. Generally, a heavily armoured man would have been pitched against a gladiator who fought practically naked.

Some of the more common combatants were:

Page 53: Classical Civilizations Greek (1780 – 133 b.c.e .) & Roman (509 b.c.e . – 476 c.e .)

Secutor - wearing leather armou on the left leg, elbows and wrists, he carried a large shield and a sword. He also wore a heavy helmet and

visor.

Thracians - carried a small square shield that barely covered the torso. He was armed with just a dagger.

Murmillo - protected by a long heavy rectangular shield, covering his body from shoulder to calf. He also had a large crested helmet and a short dagger.

Retiarius - the most vulnerable of all gladiators, he fought almost naked. His only protection was a leather

shoulder cover, a net, and a trident.

Page 57: Classical Civilizations Greek (1780 – 133 b.c.e .) & Roman (509 b.c.e . – 476 c.e .)

The premise was that lightly armored fighters compensated their defenselessness with speed, agility and the freedom to attack.

The defeated gladiator was usually slain by the victor. The loser would ceremoniously grip the thighs of his conqueror, who would ram his sword into the fallen gladiator's neck.

Of course, the audience could always grant mercy to those gladiators who put up a valiant fight…
