1. (Jan. 3, 106 - Dec. 7, 43 B.C.), best known as an
eloquent Roman orator, rose remarkably to the top of the Roman political
hierarchy where he received the accolade Pater patriae 'father of his country',
fell precipitously (стремительно), went into exile because of his hostile relations
with Clodius Pulcher.
2. is the man who is said to have written down the laws
of the Athenians for the first time. He wrote them during the archonship of
Aristaechmus c. 621/0 B.C. Most scholars believe he wrote the laws against
homicide and certain other offenses, but doubt that he wrote a constitution
giving the franchise (право участвовать в выборах, право голоса) to the hoplites.
Some doubt he ever lived.
3. is the central figure of Christianity. For believers,
he is the Messiah, the son of God and the Virgin Mary, who lived as a Galilean
Jew, was crucified under Pontius Pilate, and was resurrected. For many
non-believers, he is a source of wisdom.
4. Roman
Emperor (482/483 - 565) is known for
his reorganization of the government of the Roman Empire and his codification
of the laws, the Codex Justinianus, in A.D. 534. Some call Justinian "the
last Roman," which is why this Byzantine emperor makes it to this list of
important ancient people that otherwise ends in A.D. 476.
5. (July 12/13, 102/100 B.C. - March 15, 44 B.C.) may
have been the greatest man of all times. By age 39/40, he had been a governor
(propraetor) of Further Spain, captured by pirates, hailed (был
провозглашен) imperator by adoring troops, consul, and elected
pontifex maximus. He formed the Triumvirate, enjoyed military victories in Gaul,
became dictator for life, and started a civil war. He, the last great leader of
the Roman Republic, set in motion the creation of the Roman Empire.
6. (January 69 - August 12, 30 B.C.) was the last pharaoh
of Egypt to rule during the Hellenistic era. After her death, Rome controlled
Egypt. She is known for her affairs with Caesar and Mark Antony, by whom she
had respectively, one and three children, and her suicide by snake bite after
her husband Antony took his own life.
7. In 438
Emperor commissioned the law code
known as the Codex Theodosianus, which listed 2500 imperial laws from 429-438.
It supplemented the earlier Codex Gregorianus and Hermogenianus and included
those laws a commission of 8 could find from the time of Constantine. It was
hoped the code would smooth differences between the two halves of the empire.
8. , King of
Macedon from 336 - 323 B.C., may claim the title of the greatest military
leader the world has ever known. His empire spread from Gibraltar to the
Punjab, and he made Greek the lingua franca of his world. At his death a new
Greek age began.
9. (c. 470 - 399 B.C.), is a central figure in Greek
philosophy. He is known for his unique method (elenchus). He is famous for
saying that he knows nothing and that the unexamined life is not worth living.
He is also well known for stirring up sufficient controversy to be sentenced to
a death that he had to carry out by drinking a cup of hemlock.
10. (1792-1750?) was an important Babylonian king,
known for the Code of Hammurabi. It is generally referred to as an early law
code, although it's actual function is debated. He also improved the state,
building canals and fortifications. He united Mesopotamia, defeated Elam,
Larsa, Eshnunna, and Mari, and made Babylonia an important power. He started
the "Old Babylonian period" that lasted for about 1500 years.
11. was a legendary, perhaps historical Spartan law-giver
from the 7th centuy B.C. first mentioned by Herodotus, as guaradian of the
Agiad king Leobotes, and credited with creating most of Sparta's eunomia 'good
order' -- the Spartan signature institutions, being inspired by the
institutions of Crete.
12. (384 - 322 B.C.) was one of the most important western
philosophers, a student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great. His
philosophy, logic, science, metaphysics, ethics, politics and system of
deductive reasoning have been of inestimable importance ever since.
13. (c. 109 B.C.-71 B.C.) was trained in a gladiator
school and led a slave revolt that was ultimately doomed. Through his military
ingenuity, his men evaded Roman forces led by Clodius and then Mummius, but
Crassus and Pompey got the best of him. His army of disaffected gladiators and
slaves were defeated. Their bodies were strung up on crosses along the Appian
Way.
14. It
was probably in 594, when was
made one of the archons, that he was made law-giver entrusting with revising
the laws of Athens, except Draco's law on homicide. Through the laws, power was
distributed. He faced the daunting task of improving the condition of
debt-ridden farmers, laborers forced into bondage over debt, and the middle
classes who were excluded from government. He had to help the poor while not
alienating the increasingly wealthy landowners and aristocracy.
15. (c. 272 – 22 May 337) was famed for winning the
battle at the Milvian Bridge, reuniting the Roman Empire under one emperor (he
himself), winning major battles in Europe, legalizing Christianity, and
establishing a new eastern capital of Rome at the city, Nova Roma, formerly
Byzantium, that was to be named Constantinople.
