...is a dab page, but classical era and classical age redirect here. Does this make sense? Srnec (talk) 23:32, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
- Not hugely no. Although I guess "period" is used a little more widely/loosely. Iskandar323 (talk) 06:15, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
- I think so - after the first 2 on the dab, the rest clearly refer to other things entirely:
- Classical India, a historic period of India (c. 322 BCE - c. 550 CE)
- Classical Islam, a normative period in Islamic history
- Classical period (music), in music
- Classic stage, of American archaeology
- in fact "the classical period of ..." could refer to any number of things. Johnbod (talk) 16:38, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
- So yes, actually. My eyes (and mind) skipped over the music period before. Iskandar323 (talk) 17:16, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
"Basis of European art until the Roman Imperial period"
This phrasing in the 3rd paragraph of the article introduction I think misrepresents the directions and extent in which Hellenistic culture spread. It seems to imply that, for instance, the Britons before the conquest of Claudius were influenced primarily by Greek culture. The reality is that Greek cultural influence north of the Alps, with the exception say of Massilia, was extremely limited. So, I'm going to change "European" at least to "Mediterranean", but even that doesn't encompass say the Seleucids and Bactrians, where Greek culture reached to the borders of India. Hopefully someone else can come up with a better term to pinpoint the area of Hellenic influence 148.88.245.156 (talk) 12:16, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
Colosseum & culture
The Colosseum was a place of torture, which cannot be disputed. Is that 'culture'? Onoufrios d (talk) 05:09, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
Boring
This article is very poorly written. Extremely boring! 199.119.235.241 (talk) 00:55, 22 February 2025 (UTC)
