this day in ancient history

intro
Welcome to our "This Day in Ancient History" feature for today. If you click on an entry with a (more) after it, you will be taken via a new browser window to a more extended discussion/page dealing with the subject as well as additional links.

Please be aware that this page focuses on the ancient history of the Mediterranean world -- don't expect to find anything about ancient China, North America, South America etc...

This page is updated sometime between 9.00 p.m. "the night before" and 7.00 a.m. "of the day". If this page seems 'behind', please visit the email archive at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ThisDay/messages, which should be current, barring unforeseen circumstance. If you prefer, you can receive this feature via email; info on subscribing is over there on the left.

If you have anything to add in regards to something ancient and/or classical which happened on this day, feel free to drop me a line. I can't guarantee that I'll use it, but I'll certainly check it out!
