Antiquities, nearly always used in the plural in this sense, is a term for objects from Antiquity, especially the civilizations of the Mediterranean: the Classical antiquity of Greece and Rome, Ancient Egypt and the other Ancient Near Eastern cultures. Artifacts from earlier periods such as the Mesolithic, and other civilizations from Asia and elsewhere may also be covered by the term. From Wikipedia under the

My favorite period of antiquity would be the Roman Empire. Two facinating topics are the general Cinncinatus, he was a hero of George Washington's so much so that Washington had himself sculpted and painted in the image of Cinncinatus. The other is the Gracchi brothers, who attempted to lead major reforms to help the poor in Rome and were both killed by the aristocracy because of their good will beliefs. A quick list of others would be the Carthaginian general Hannibal, the Egyptian ruler Rhamses the Great, the parallels of the lost city of Atlantis to the Minoan civilization specifically the island of Thera, called Santorini in modern times. And the golden age of Greece with it's great ruler Pericles. [cont.] Answered by Quartermush - Thu Nov 8 13:06:20 2007 How did people manage to see before eyeglasses were invented?
Q. Based on the huge proportion of the population that needs glasses or contact lenses today, I can't imagine that a similar proportion of the population in ancient times didn't have similar vision problems. How did they manage to see back then before corrective lenses were invented? For example in Roman times, which was far already a very advanced society, how did people manage to see? And in antiquity, how did people manage to hunt and survive in the wild without good vision? Did those individual simply die before reaching adult age? Is the human race developing more and more vision problems as we are moving forward in time? Asked by JPA - Sat Nov 22 23:49:29 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Unfortunately this seems to be the case as more people are living longer and then we have things like books, computers, homework, hand-held games etc- that help contribute to the increasing frequency of vision problems. Also wearing glasses/contacts can make your vision worse forcing you to be more dependent on them to see. In ancient times people didn't need glasses as they generally lived an active lifestyle outdoors and many people died before the age where they would need reading glasses (40-50 years old).
