12 Centaur and Lapith Parthenon, metope relief c. 440’s BCE This sculpture from the Parthenon shows a Centaur rearing triumphantly over a dying human Lapith. This focus on human suffering epitomizes the intense humanism of Greek art. The sculpture also represents Greece's struggle to resist being absorbed into the Persian Empire. The Greeks had a strong notion of their own identity and regarded the Persians as barbarians like the Centaurs. The Parthenon was completed in 432 BCE on the site of an earlier unfinished temple destroyed by the Persians. http://www.bbc.co.uk/ahistoryoftheworld/ objects/9DWj8vP7RSmAqiuIbW4X8w http://www.bbc.co.uk/ahistoryoftheworld/ objects/9DWj8vP7RSmAqiuIbW4X8w

22 Coin with head of Alexander This coin was issued by Lysimachus, the former general of Alexander the Great. After Alexander's death, Lysimachus ruled part of Alexander's empire in Bulgaria, northern Greece and Turkey known as 'Thrace'. Lysimachus used Alexander's portrait on his coins to emphasize his position as Alexander's successor. Alexander was worshipped as a god after his death. Here he sports the ram's horns of the god, Zeus Ammon, whom Egyptian priests claimed was Alexander's father. On the reverse of the coin is the goddess Athena. Alexander was born in the kingdom of Macedon in 356 BCE. By the age of 25 he had conquered Greece, Egypt and Persia, creating an empire spanning 2 million square miles. Following his death in 323 BCE, Alexander's generals began to squabble over his legacy. Since they could not claim a blood- tie, these generals tried to legitimize their rule through other connections with Alexander. Eventually they divided the empire into three main kingdoms in Macedon, Egypt and Persia and went on to form powerful dynasties. http://www.bbc.co.uk/ahistoryoftheworld/objects/uw_ cy8iCRxSgI9I-rbVadg http://www.bbc.co.uk/ahistoryoftheworld/objects/uw_ cy8iCRxSgI9I-rbVadg
