The Temple of Artemis
By: Caroline Mickas

What is the Story of the Temple of Artemis ?

The Temple of Artemis was one of the 7 wonders of the ancient worlds. The Temple

of Artemis had a very unfortunate life because it was destroyed at least 3

times, when it was destroyed it was rebuilt bigger and

more impressive, and it was rebuilt and destroyed for
1082 years before they stopped rebuilding it.

Location of the Temple of Artemis
The temple would have

built in Turkey today, but long ago it would have

been built in the ancient
Greek city of Ephesus.

Every time the temple was destroyed it was rebuilt in

the same place it was originally built in.

I hit these standards by knowing that a need is food to feed the people of Greece and that a want would be the big temples. The choice of building a temple can

show your wealth but it has the risk of being destroyed.
People barter by having things that other traders want,

and exchanging those things with the trader to get what they want. People get goods by buying or trading one good for another. If all the world wants something,

the price for it is going to go way up. Governments make the coins that people use to buy things. The suppliers of goods sometimes sell an object to the

person that pays the most money instead of the person who ordered it. This is a problem.

I covered these standards by knowing that you used to be able to ban someone if

enough people voted to ban them. Now, you can’t. The governments trade goods with

each other. Governments also have war with one another. People vote to tell the

government what they want and what they think is best for their country.

    “Athens and Sparta” by Mr. Duckworth states, “Where they differed was that while sparta had militaristic values, athenians were democratic.” Spartans focused more on having a small army, and athens focused more on becoming smarter. Sparta would have been a better place to live in because spartan women had more rights than other greek women, sparta used their army to protect others, and sparta was self reliant. Primarily, spartan women had more rights than other greek women.…

    For more than a half-century, Livia Drusilla was recognized as the most noticeable and powerful woman in ancient Rome. Her noticeable quality and power were not because of her riches or patrician family, in spite of the fact that she had both, rather it was the way that she had the favorable luck to marry the man who turned into Rome 's first emperor, Augustus, and bring forth its second, Tiberius. While coincidence placed Livia in recognitions way, she was brilliant and sufficiently skillful to exploit her circumstance and obtained a genuine impact during an era when women couldn 't vote, hold open office, or show up out in the open without a guardian. While Augustus directed the lives of women around Livia by proclaiming strict good and marriage…

    When I set out to the Metropolitan Museum in New York I did not expect to have as much fun as I did, nor did I expect to be there for over six hours. The Metropolitan has a vast collection and some of the most unique artifacts I can ever remember seeing at a museum. From the Greek and Roman art, to the sarcophaguses from Roman and Egyptian lands, it even has a reconstructed pyramid, and I didn't even get to experience more than half of the artifacts. One enormous piece that caught my attention, centered in the middle of the Greek and Roman art on the main floor was a marble sarcophagus lid.…

    Today, the great ancient Greek civilization is remembered in a myriad of ways. The battles they fought to maintain their independence, with their methodical and strategic combat techniques. The great philosophers, that during their times rummaged through reality to answer the unknown, that defied the customary ways of thinking. The gods and goddesses that gathered the masses with their mystical appeal, and the myths that answered what Greek societies inevitably questioned. However, one thing that appears to be disregarded when venturing into the history of ancient Greece is its women and the roles they held, considering that many facets of ancient Greek history are devoted to men.…

    Society, Religion, & Politics in Greek & Roman Dress To some, dress may be seen as just the clothing one wears to get through the tasks of daily life. However, to the women in ancient Greek and Roman society, dress was influenced by so much more than just their own personal choices and styles. There were similarities and differences in the roles of women in these societies, but there seem to be common themes of women being forced to dress modestly and men being more dominant in each society. It is important to understand that the way these women dressed was not simply an extension of their personality, but was controlled and shaped by societal factors around them.…
