  8. Assigned Questions: • To which classical civilization (Persia, Greece, Rome) was religion most important? • Which classical civilization had the most efficient political system? • In which Classical Civilization did women have it best? • Which Classical Civilization’s decline was most disappointing?

  9. 1. To which classical civilization (Persia, Greece, Rome) was religion most important? • Persia Promoted Zoroastrianism, but tolerant of other religions (Babylonian Exile ended for Jews). Later, Zoroastrianism became the official state religion. Few ritualistic practices within society. • Greece  Pantheon of gods prominently featured in architecture and public life. Many festivals to the gods. Utilized oracles to interpret the will of the gods. Cult practice was common as well (Dionysus, Osiris, Mithras) • Rome  Pantheon of gods essentially borrowed from the Greeks (a result of Hellenistic syncretism). During Republic, rituals, sacrifices, and vestal virgins common. During Empire, emperors were worshipped as gods upon death. Cult practice very common (Mithras with Military, Isis with women). Interactions with Jews and Christians became political and significant.

  10. 2. Which classical civilization had the most efficient political system? • Persia: Empire divided into Satrapies; effective bureaucracy; “eyes and ears of the king;” efficient infrastructure made communication fast; equal rights and responsibilities for all; tolerance to minority groups • Greece: Evolving system (monarchy  tyranny  oligarchy/democracy); defined participation of citizens (limited); elected assemblies; Pericles reforms to limit corruption; Delian League • Rome: Also evolving (Monarchy  Republic  Empire); defined institutions (Consuls, Tribunes, Senate, etc.); probably peaked and then declined (see 3rd century emperors); active role of citizenry during Republic; monarchy disguised as democracy during Empire; consistently ineffective at reform

  11. 3. In which Classical Civilization did women have it best? • Persia: Women were permitted to own property, choose a husband, run a business, travel freely, and work outside of the home. Special rations were provided to women who had just delivered a child (double for boys). Noble women faced social limitations and customs dictated by the king. Limited to evidence to illustrate participation in military even. • Greece: Women confined to the gynaikon; could only leave for religious festivals, fetching water, visiting sacred spaces; must be covered when outside the home; arranged marriage (at age 14 to much older man); no citizenship; extremely limited economic rights (dowry); Sparta exception • Rome: Paterfamilias meant no rights in the home; ran household affairs; No citizenship; “Needed guardians;” During empire women could own land, run businesses, free slaves, make wills, and work outside the home (though still under guardianship of husband or father)

  12. 4. Which Classical Civilization’s decline was most disappointing? • Persia: Without a strong ruler after Xerxes, revolts and unruly satraps caused serious economic problems for the empire. Persian taxes became heavier and more oppressive, which led to economic depression and revolts. Eventually, Alexander the Great exploited this in his quick and decisive victory over the Persians. • Greece: Competition between poleis leads to economic problems; Delian League fails leading to Peloponnesian War; Thebes conquers Sparta; Athens/Sparta conquer Thebes; Macedonian invasion. • Rome: Imperial abuse leads to overextension, financial problems, inflation, class divide, religious challenge to authority, rebellion, assassination, and barbarian invasion.
