| ARTICLES RELATED TO 1516 | | | | | | | | |  1516: Encyclopedia II - Independent school UK - Public schoolPublic school in the British Isles is a label applied to leading fee-paying independent schools in England and Wales. In Scotland and Ireland it is not commonly used in this sense for schools in those countries (and indeed in Scotland and Northern Ireland the phrase has long been an alternative name for council schools in the state sector).

| | | | | | | 1516: Encyclopedia II - Skåne - Geography The geography of Skåne was shaped by the last ice age, the Wisconsin glaciation, a time when it was totally covered with ice. When the ice retreated, it left a major mark on the land: Hallandsåsen, a ridge in the northern parts in the municipality of Båstad bordering Halland, and Söderås.
The terrain is almost completely flat, which distinguishes it amongst the otherwise forest and waterway rich geography of Sweden. Skåne has no mountains and few hills, lakes or forests. Stretching from the north-western to the south-east ...

Timeline of Jewish history - 200 BCE to 700 CE.
200 BCE–100 CE Throughout this era the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) is gradually canonized.

| | | | | 1516: Encyclopedia II - Zürich - History Numerous lake-side settlements from the Neolithic and Bronze age have been found, such as those in the Zürich Pressehaus and Zürich Mozartstrasse. The settlements were found in the 1800s, submerged in Zurichsee, or Lake Zurich. In 2004, traces of a pre-Roman Celtic settlement were discovered. In Roman times, Turicum was a tax-collecting point for goods entering the imperial province of Raetia by river. The earliest record of the town's name is preserved on a tombstone found in the eighteenth century on Lindenhof, referring to the Roman castle ...

| | | | | 1516: Encyclopedia II - Tower of David - History of the citadel In the 2nd century BCE, Jerusalem expanded to the so-called Western Hill, on which the citadel now stands. Since the site was the weak point in the city's natural defenses, its fortification was of paramount importance to all rulers of Jerusalem, each of whom built on the ruins of the earlier structures.
The Hasmonean kings fortified the area with an impressive wall and large watchtowers, which the historian Josephus Flavius (1st century CE) refers to as the First Wall. King Herod the Great, who ruled in the late 1st century BCE, ad ...

During the sixteenth century, Spain held the equivalent of US$1.5 trillion dollars (1990 terms) in gold and silver received from New Spain. It was often said during this time that it was the empire on which the sun never set. The unwieldy empire of this Golden Age was controlled, not from distant inland Madrid, but from Seville. The Habsburg dynasty squandered the American and Castilian riches in wars across Europe for Habsburg inter ...
