The city was first settled in 1788 by the United Empire Loyalists. In 1814, Canadian forces led by George Hay, 8th Marquess of Tweeddale, met American invaders near the present-day town site during the Battle of Cook's Mill.

Alexander the Great had conquered the Persian Empire within a short time-frame and died young, leaving an expansive empire of partly Hellenized culture without an adult heir.

He ruled over not only Babylonia, but the entire enormous eastern part of Alexander's Empire. Following his and Lysimachus's victory over Ant ...

After the conquest of the Persian Empire by Alexander III, king of Macedonia, Iran became in a constant conflict between the Iranian traditions and the Hellenistic way of life, between civic life and oriental monarchy. In Persia the Hellenistic rulers were ultimately unable to solve these and other problems inherent in such a mixed and complex society, even if there was a strong level of contamination between the two cultures. But the Greeks and their culture ultimately ended up occupying a secondary if important role, while pre-conquest patterns re-emerged stronger than ever, like the persisten ...

The evidence for the place and date of this work are in the language and theology of the work. The reference to Pope Clement I suggests a date between 88 and 97 for at least the first two visions. Since Paul sent greetings to a Hermas, a Christian of Rome (Romans 16:14), a hopeful minority have followed Origen's opinion that he was the author of this religious romance; however, textual criticism and the nature of the theology, and the author's apparent familiarity with Revelation and other Johannine t ...

132 is a Catalan number, a Harshad number, a pronic number. If you take the sum of all 2-digit numbers you can make from 132, you get 132: 12 + 13 + 21 + 23 + 31 + 32 = 132. 132 is the smallest number with this property. But there is no number that, when added up to its own digits, adds up to 132, making it a self number. ...

Cassivellaunus, who led the resistance to Julius Caesar's first expedition to Britain in 54 BC, is often taken to have belonged to the Catuvellauni. His tribal background is not mentioned by Caesar, but his territory, north of the Thames and to the west of the Trinovantes, corresponds to that later occupied by the Catuvellauni. Tasciovanus was the first king to mint coins at Verulamium, beginning ca 20 BC. He appears to have expanded his power at the expense of the Trinovantes to the east, as some of his coins, ca 15-10 BC, were minte ...

One hundred eleven is R3 or the second repunit, a number like 11, 111, or 1111 that consists of repeated units, or 1's. It equals 3 x 37, therefore all triplets (numbers like 222 or 666) in base ten are of the form 3n x 37. All triplets in all bases are multiples of 111 in that base, therefore the number represented by 111 in a particular base is the only triplet that can ever be prime. "111" is not prime in base ten, but is prime in base two, where 111 = 7 in base ten. It is also prime in these ...
