| | | | 215 BC: Encyclopedia II - History of Greece - Ancient Greece
There are no fixed or universally agreed dates for the beginning or the end of the Ancient Greek period. In common usage it refers to all Greek history before the Roman Empire, but historians use the term more precisely.

Traditionally, the Ancient Greek period was taken to begin with the date of the first Olympic Games in 776 B ...

| | | | 215 BC: Encyclopedia II - Xiongnu - Northern and southern Xiongnu The Xiongnu's new power was met with a policy of appeasement by Emperor Guangwu. At the height of his power, Huduershi even compared himself to his illustrious ancestor, Modu. Due to growing regionalism among the Xiongnu, however, Huduershi was never able to establish unquestioned authority.
