Home›The Classical World›LocationBrowse ByLocationThis dimension names the place where a historical event actually occurred. Wikipedia notes that some branches of history "concentrate on particular geographic regions, such as the history of Africa," reflecting how tightly a specific event is tied to its own location. Browsing this way collects every event that took place in the same location.FactsLocationSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonStart YearWell-attested750 BCE 1End YearWell-attested450 CE 1LocationFilter Results14 entriesEvent TypeAllEconomic Event (1)Military Conflict (13)Political Event (2)Group TreeAllEvents of Classical Greece and Persia, 500 to 400 BCE (1)Events of the Hellenistic and Roman World, 399 BCE to 200 CE (13)EraAllClassical Antiquity (12)The Achaemenid Persian Period (1)The Pax Romana (1)The Roman Republic Period (1)Event Era (Year)All587 BCE (1)510 BCE (1)499 BCE (1)490 BCE (1)431 BCE (1)336 BCE (5)320 BCE (1)264 BCE (3)261 BCE (1)221 BCE (1)202 BCE (1)73 BCE (1)44 BCE (1)31 BCE (1)9 (1)40 (1)60 (1)66 (1)132 (1)ParticipantsAllAlexander the Great (5)Artemisia I of Caria (1)Boudica (1)Cleopatra VII (1)Emperor Guangwu of Han (1)Emperor Wu of Han (1)Emperor Xuan of Han (1)Hannibal (3)Julius Caesar (1)Nebuchadnezzar II (1)Scipio Africanus (3)Spartacus (1)Wang Mang (1)Xerxes I (1)Participating StatesAllAchaemenid Empire (1)Ancient Rome (3)Babylonia (1)Classical Athens (1)Maurya Empire (2)Ptolemaic Kingdom (1)Area (sq km)All125.156 (1)1287.36 (1)22,072 (1)302,069 (1)325,000 (1)4,000,000 (1)5,222,321 (1)7,862,221 (1)9,572,900 (1)10,186,000 (1)30,370,000 (1)44,579,000 (1)Climate ZoneAllTemperate (2)Country CountAll44 (1)49 (1)54 (1)Elevation BandAllHighland (1)Lowland (1)Founding YearAll3000 BCE (1)753 BCE (1)Government TypeAllOne-Party (1)Republic (1)Highest Elevation (m)All1345 (1)5642 (1)5895 (1)8849 (1)Income GroupAllHigh (2)Upper-Middle (1)Independence or Founding YearAll1861 (1)1948 (1)1949 (1)LandlockedAllNo (3)PopulationAll1,050,153 (1)2,746,984 (1)10,147,200 (1)57,600,000 (1)58,900,000 (1)82,000,000 (1)270,500,000 (1)745,173,774 (1)1,393,676,444 (1)1,407,698,000 (1)2,040,000,000 (1)4,694,576,167 (1)Time ZoneAllUTC+01:00 (1)UTC+02:00 (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 14AfricaLocation2 entriesAsiaLocation6 entriesCentral AsiaLocation1 entryChinaLocation1 entryEuropeLocation6 entriesGreat BritainLocation1 entryIsraelLocation1 entryItalyLocation1 entryJerusalemLocation2 entriesThe LevantLocation1 entryMesopotamiaLocation1 entryNorth AfricaLocation1 entryRomeLocation1 entrySouth AsiaLocation1 entrySources1.
