Historic Replicas

Often referred to as the cradle of western civilization, the birthplace of democracy, also
known as Ancient Greece was predominately a peaceful, progressive, and highly intellectual society for the majority of its existence. This peace saw the advent of modern democracy, the brilliance and grandeur of many philosophers, such as Aristotle, Socrates, and Plato, as well as the appreciation for a set standard of superior athleticism displayed through the first Olympic games. This period of Greek history lasted from approximately 1100 BC  until the Roman invasion of Corinth in 146 BC.
 Many influential figures emerged throughout Ancient Greece’s many city-states, which
consisted primarily of  Athens, Sparta, Delphi, and Corinth. These independent, yet closely nitted city-states proved pivotal in Alexander the Great’s legendary defeat of the Persian empire, and in the foundation of the Greek culture that spreaded virtually to all parts of the known world.

 In addition to great philosophers, Greece gave us strategic warefare and gladiators.  To wield a Greek sword or Roman shield was a sign of great power.  Power that soon conquered most of the world.
