Towns in Roman Britain Ingrit Roosileht 7.Klass 2013 Roman roads The Romans built Britain's first towns. They built towns all over Britain as centers to administer the people they had conquered. Within 17 years of the invasion, they had several major towns connected by the famous Roman roads. Towns soon became important places for meetings and trade. What were Roman towns like? v The Roman towns were full of fine buildings and temples. v Streets were laid out in neat, straight lines, like on a chess- board. In the middle there was a large square, called the forum v Many towns had running water and sewers. Aqueducts were bridges for bringing water to the towns. Only the rich had water piped to their houses; everyone else used water from public fountains. The only toilets were public lavatories, which were built around the town and connected to underground sewers. What could you find in most Roman
The athletes travelled from distant lands to compete in the games.The Olympics were started in 776 B.C. and held at a shrine to Zeus on the western coast of Greece in Peloponnesus.The games were held every four years, helpedto unify Greek city-states. A sacred truce was declared during the games, and wars were stopped.Safe passage were given to all traveling to the site, called Olympia, for the season of the games. The site consisted of a stadium and a sacred grove, or Altis, where temples were located.The shrine to Zeus was simple in the early years but as time went by a new larger temple, one worthy of the King of the gods were needed. Between 470 and 460 B.C., construction on a new temple was started. The designer was Libon of Elis and The Temple of Zeus was completed in 456 B.C. This temple followed a design used on many large Grecian temples. Though the temple was considered one of the best examples of the Doric design, it was decided

This holiday is not very popular anymore although some people still decorate their houses with holy tree leaves and fish heads. In the 13th century it was a popular custom, people belived that the smell of burning trees and the sound of drums would scare the spirits away. Nowadays it's more common to throw rosted beans into houses, temples an shrines. Ou are supposed to shout ,,Oni wa soto! Fuku wa uchi!" while throwing the beans which means ,,Devils out! Happiness in!". Then you should pick up the number of peas as old you are and eat them.

Forestry and the Forest Industry in Japan Today I'm going to do a presentation about a book called ,,Forestry and the Forest Industry in Japan", edited by Yoshiya Iwai. --------------------- Participants in private forestry are classified into six categories: forestry households; companies; shrines and temples; joint holdings; various groups and cooperatives; and habitual joint holdings. Except for shrines and temples, these groups manage forests to produce income. In general, these forests are not very large: the average forest area per establishment was 3.7 ha in 1990. Groups operating forests of less than 100 ha control 67% of the total area. Hence forests are not necessarily owned by a few large concerns. Private ownership of forestland was officially permitted after the Meiji restoration of 1868, which marked the end of feudalism

Väikse lapsena elas Chaplin koos oma emaga mitmetel erinevatel aadressidel. Chaplini ema oli tugevast ja heast perekonnast aga Chaplin seenjor oli alkohoolik ja suhtles pojaga suhteliselt vähe, kuid oli aeg kus Chaplin ja ta poolvend elasid koos oma isa ja tema armukese Louise'iga Kenningtoni tänaval. Nad elasid seal kuna nende ema oli vaimse haiguse tõttu pandud Cane Hill vaimuhaiglasse Coulsdonis. Chaplini isa armuke saatis Chaplin juuniori Archbishop Temples poiste kooli. Charles seenjor suri kui Chaplin oli kõigest 12 aastane aastal 1901. Kuninganna Elizabeth II lõi 4 märtsil Charlie Chaplini rüütliks. Esimest korda taheti Chaplin rüütliks lüüa juba 1931 aastal aga see jäi tegemata, sest ta ei võtnud osa esimesest maailmasõjast. Teist korda sooviti teda rüütliks teha 1956 aastal kuid ka siis jäi see läbi viimata, seekord oli põhjuseks liiga konservatiivne valitsus, kes kartis rikkuda oma suhteid

History · Early hospitals During the Middle Ages the hospital could serve other functions, such as an almshouse for the poor, or hostel for pilgrims. In ancient cultures, religion and medicine were linked. The earliest known institutions aiming to provide cure were Egyptian temples. Greek temples dedicatedto the healer-god, might admit the sick, who would wait for guidance from the god in a dream. The Romans adopted this worship. The Sri Lankans are perhaps responsible for introducing theconcept ofdedicated hospitals to the world. According to an ancient chronicle, written in the 6 th century A.D., a king had lying-in homes and hospitals built in various parts of the country. This is the earliest
construction, the Great Pyramid was originally 146.59 metres tall but with erosion, its current height is 138.74 metres. The total mass of the pyramid is about 5.9 million tonnes. Based on these estimates, building this in 20 years would involve installing about 800 tonnes of stone every day. The pyramid remained the tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years Pyramid complex The Great Pyramid of Giza is the main part of a complex setting of buildings that included two temples in honor of Khufu, three smaller pyramids for Khufu's wives, an even smaller "satellite" pyramid and small Mastaba tombs surrounding the pyramid for nobles. There was a town for the workers of Giza, which included a cemetery, bakeries, a beer factory and a copper melting complex Giza's Materials The Great Pyramid consists of more than 2.3 million limestone blocks. The Egyptians got the majority of the limestone blocks from a nearby quarry

Exercise helps the blood circulate around our bodies, cleaning out waste and supplying plenty of oxygen. It is also important what we get enough sleep. The number of hours we sleep we need depend on our age. Young babies sleep for 20-22 hours each day, whereas older people often need only 6-7 hours. 2.1 Early hospitals The earliest known institutions aiming to provide cure were Egyptian temples. In ancient times temples dedicated to the gods of healing used to have a hospital area. Sick people came there to pray and be treated. Later in the Middle Ages hospitals attached to monasteries were run by monks and nuns. The oldest hospital still in existence is in Paris. It was founded in 800's A.D. In the 1700's European cities began to build hospitals. They were charity hospitals for the poor and sick, as the rich people were treated at home

Acropolis of Athens Acropolis is a rocky plateau as high as 156 m, and there are some ruins of an ancient building that was once the temple who were the historical center of Athens. Was built 1,300 years BC. Acropolis is actually a lovely little town, to destroy the Persian empire in 480 BC. A year later the Greek army defeated the Persians and rebuilt temples. Between the years 467 until 404 BC, the building was completed. In 1834 Athens became the capital of Greece, King Otto set the Acropolis as a protected archaeological buildings. Acropolis restored in 1975.

invaders from the Mediterranean lands. These men were the first farmers. In about 500 BC came the people whose homeland was near the Rhine River. These were the Celts. The Roman invasion began in 43AD. The Romans were highly organized conquerors. They built good roads, baths and bridges. The Romans stayed in the British Isles up to the 5th century. The remarkable thing about the Romans is that, despite their long occupation of Britain, they left very little behind. Most of the villas and temples the impressive network of roads and the cities they founded, including Londinium, 4 were soon destroyed. The next invaders were the Anglo-Saxons. They came from nowadays Germany, Holland and Denmark. In 1066 the last successful invasion was made by French-speaking Normans. French became the language of the ruling class, Latin was the written language. By the 14th
Lived on the British Isles in the 1st millenium. They most probably came from Eastern Europe and belonged to the Celtic race and also spoke Celtic. They were primitive hunters- gatherers, farmers. Some Celtic words are still used in modern English, however they are used mostly in place names. For example: · avon river · cumb valley · ford shallow place in the river Ancient Britons had their own religion and priests or druids and temples. In the year 55 BC Britain became a Roman province. Romans were highly developed and had their own language latin, which has also greatly influenced English. The military occupation of the Isles ended in 410 AD. The Romans eventually brought Christianity to Britain. Hadrian's wall on the border of Scotland and England. It began construction in 122 AD.

They also probably built the spectacular prehistoric megaliths, such as Stonehenge on Salisbury Plain. The Celts invaded the British Isles in the 5th century BC in two waves. The Britons grew wheat and corn, caught fish, and tamed and bred animals. They made coarse cloth for their clothes, learned the art of pottery, made things of wool, metal and copper, and were good warriors. They traded with the Gauls and built many temples and altars. The Celts brought with them a knowledge of smelting iron, which produced stronger weapons than the bronze ones. They had a strange and cruel religion, sometimes human beings were sacrificed. In 43 AD the Roman Invasion in Britain started. The millions of people who lived under the Romans, were bound together under a common system of law and government. Ancient Rome had an enormous influence on the development of Western civilization. Julius Caesar reached the shores of Gaul in 55 BC

Today, sashimi and sushi are often eaten, as well as non-Japanese foods. To let the overworked stomach rest, seven-herb rice soup (, nanakusa-gayu?) is prepared on the seventh day of January, a day known as jinjitsu (?). Bell ringing At midnight on December 31, Buddhist temples all over Japan ring their bells a 108 times to symbolize the 108 human sins in Buddhist belief, and to get rid of the 108 worldly desires regarding sense and feeling in every Japanese citizen.

Celtic tribes. (3) 2.2 The Roman Era Before the conquest, the Romans had annexed lands to the southeast extending beyond the Rhine River. They penetrated the Netherlands region mainly to control the several mouths of the Rhine, which were then farther to the north than they are now. Under Roman rule, general peace and prosperity prevailed for more than 250 years. Roman traders entered the area freely, selling products from Italy and Gaul. The Romans built temples, established a number of large farms, and introduced their civilization to the region. About AD 300 the hold by the Romans began to weaken, and no indigenous German tribes pushed into the area from the east. The Frisians, in the north, held their ground, but Saxons occupied the eastern part of the region, and the Franks moved into the west and south. (3) 2.3 The Middle Ages The Franks were the most powerful of the invaders. Their lands extended southward into what
about 3,000 B.C. Sunflower seeds were ground or pounded into flour, cracked and eaten as snacks, mixed with other vegetables, or even squeezed for oil which was used in making bread. Nonfood uses included purple dye, medical uses, and using the dried stalk as a building material. The plant and the seeds were widely used in ceremonies. In Peru, this flower was much revered by the Aztecs. In the Aztec temples of the Sun, the priestesses were crowned with sunflowers and carried them in their hands. The early Spanish conquerors found numerous pure gold representations of the sunflower in these temples. Spanish explorers took the exotic sunflower plant to Europe in the 1500's, where it was widely used as an ornamental plant. By 1716, an English patent had been granted for squeezing oil from sunflower seeds but the sunflower was never really viewed as a food plant until it reached Russia
destroyed by fire in 1838, is but one example of many outstanding wooden bridges lost in this manner throughout history. There was another material, however, whose use at the end of the 18th century offered bridge engineers an alternative to the traditional materials of timber, stone, and brick. Although it had first been used in antiquity, iron was the miracle material of the Industrial Revolution. The Greeks and Romans had used it to reinforce stone pediments and columns in their temples and iron links had been forged by the Chinese and used in suspension bridges. The successful smelting of iron with coke, rather than charcoal, by English ironmaster Abraham Darby in 1709 freed iron production from fuel shortage restrictions, made large castings possible, and facilitated creation of the arch ribs for the world's first iron bridge, built seventy years later. In 1754, Henry Cort of Southampton (England) built the first rolling mill, making possible the efficient
and became opressed. Later, a northern province of Lusitania was formed, known as Gallaecia, with capital in Bracara Augusta, today's Braga. There are still many ruins of castros (Hill fort) all over modern Portugal and remains of Castro culture. Numerous Roman sites are scattered around present-day Portugal, some urban remains are quite large, like Conimbriga and Mirobriga. Several works of engineering, such as baths, temples, bridges, roads, circus, theatres and layman's homes are preserved throughout the country. Coins, some of which coined in Lusitania land, there are numerous pieces of ceramics. Contemporary historians include Paulus Orosius (c. 375-418) and Hydatius (c. 400469), bishop of Aquae Flaviae, who reported on the final years of the roman rule and arrival of the Germanic tribes. MUSLIM IBERIA Portugal was part of the Arab-Muslim world for slightly under five and a half centuries
left to fight alone against the Scots and the Saxon raiders. The following year Rome itself fell to the raiders. Despite their long occupation of Britain, the Romans left very little behind. Unlike Gaul or Spain, they left here neither their system of law and administration nor their language. Latin completely disappeared both in its spoken and written forms when the Anglo-Saxons invaded Britain in the fifth century AD. Moreover, most of the Roman villas, baths and temples, the cities they had founded were soon destroyed or fell into disrepair. Almost the only lasting reminders of their presence are place names like Chester, Lancaster and Gloucester which include variants of the Roman word castra (a military camp). 23 Notes 1. In the 1st с. BC – the 4th c. AD Rome founded the greatest ancient empire whose provinces extended from the Caucasus in the east and Egypt in the south to

England in 1884 by Mr. Gould who was then Consul General in Bangkok at that time. In 1886 a pair of cats and two kittens were brought to England by Mrs. Vyvyan, these had actually been procured from the King’s Palace in Bangkok. In the same year, Mrs. Walker, the General’s daughter, brought over one male and three females. There is no doubt that at that time the true Siamese were kept in the Royal Palaces and Temples, and that few of them ever found their way from there except as gifts, which were then considered as of great worth." In direct contradiction, Ida M. Mellen, well-known American authority on cats, in her "Practical Cat Book" (1939) writes "Although this cat generally is referred to as the Royal, and even as the Sacred Siamese, it is the common cat of Siam, just as the Manx, equally an aristocrat, is the common cat of the Isle of Man."

Gideon brushed the damp tendrils of hair off my temples, his fingertips gliding almost reverently across my face. The way he studied me made my chest hurt.
