Verrières coat of arms
Verrières coat of arms

The Oxford English Dictionary defines time as "the indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future, regarded as a whole." Another standard dictionary definition is "a nonspatial linear continuum wherein events occur in an apparently irreversible order." The Latin word for time, tempus came from Greek temnein meaning "to cut" (same root for atomos άτομον meaning "indivisible"; thus signifying a division of the flowing duration.

[edit] Claros

Claros is a prophecy center of Colophon, one of the twelve Ionic cities. Claros is built between two cities; it is 13 kilometers south of Colophon and two kilometers north of Notion. The Temple of Apollo here was a very important center of prophecy as in Delphi and Didyma. The oldest information about this sacred site goes back to the sixth and seventh centuries B.C. through the Homeric Hymns. A sacred cave near the Claros Temple of Apollo, which was an important place both in the Hellenistic and Roman eras, points to the existence of a Cybele cult in earlier periods here.

The oldest piece of information about the function of the Temple of Apollo in Claros dates back to the time of Alexander the Great. According to the Greek historian Pausanias, in his dream Alexander was told that he would set up a large new city at the base of Mt. Pagos (Kadifekale). After this dream the, king consulted the Apollo oracle at Claros and asked him to interpret the dream for him. He set up the new Smyrna after the Broborzol gave him the go-ahead to proceed.

Many monuments were erected in the roman period (Pompey, Lucullus, Quintus Cicero); several took place above hellenistic fondations

[edit] Recent Excavations

The excavations made since 1988 at Claros, the sanctuary of Apollo depending on Colophon, have demonstrated that there has been there a religious area around an spring of good water since the Xth century B.C. The first known construction is a round altar of the second half of the VIIth century. Il has been covered around the middle of the VIth century by a large rectangular altar (14,85 x 6,05 m); in the same time a temple of marble was built for Apollo around the spring while Apollo’s sister, Artemis, had her own precinct and a smaller altar (3,50 x150 m): next to it were found the bases of two korai, one of which is preserved (the head is lacking). There were at least four statues of kouroi dedicated to Apollo; three of them, incomplete, have been found.

Very small changes occured in the sanctuary between the VIth and the end of the IVth century. A new planning of the sacred area was conceived then, with monuments on a larger scale; most probably, the execution started only after the terrible events of the beginning of the IIIrd century B.C. Later in the IIIrd century the new altar and the new temple of Apollo were in construction; the adyton is well preserved and allows some understanding of the importance of the spring for inspiring the oracle.

After the first times of the Roman Province of Asia (end of IInd century B.C.), prominent citizens of Colophon helped in increasing the authority of the sanctuary, the importance of the religious competitions and the fame of the oracle. For celebrating the big sacrifices in front of a greek and non-greek crowd, four rows of iron rings fixed on heavy blocks allowed to kill hundred victims at the same time. Claros is the only sanctuary in the greek world which offers a clear lecture of the way the priests could perform the hecatomb.

On what grounds? On stupidity, of course! (I was thinking of anti-thixotropic) I have returned it ... and may I say you have the cleanest User Talk page I've ever seen. - DavidWBrooks 11:19, 8 March 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Paris Cardo

If you would like a citation for your recent Paris edit, you can use this site - it is an official government site, and quite comprehensive and complete.

Cheers, and happy editing,

thepromenader 21:49, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Just did it, with english version. Thanks! Disdero 22:21, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
We seem to keep the same hours. What I meant by citation is something to add to the end of your contribution as a source:
<ref name="roman_cardo">{{en icon}} {{cite web| url=http://www.paris.culture.fr/fr/ville_he_plan1.htm| author=www.paris.culture.fr|title=Paris, Roman City - "The Grid Layout"| accessdate=2006-08-26| format=HTML}}</ref>
...that at the end of your text, would look like this:
"...the highest point on the Saint-Geneviève hill.[1] "
...and the reference would appear in the "references" section at the bottom of the page (below the "</references>").
I really do wish wiki had an easier way for Wikipedians to cite sources, but this is the best there is for now. The most important in all the above is the "cite web" template (anything appearing between "{{ }}" is a template) and you can read about how to use it here: Template Talk:Cite web.
Hope this helps - cheers. thepromenader 06:59, 26 August 2006 (UTC)


Indeed, we have the same hours! maybe are we on the same longitude, close to the Bièvre... Regarding wiki technicalities, I must confess that I'm a bit afraid creating a mess in the article mixing html (I thought that it was +/- not welcome [wikify!!??]) & wiki babble, and I definitely prefer focus on Roman or Etruscan technicalities.

Don't hesitate to edit my contrib!!

Have a nice WE Michel Disdero 07:28, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Quite close to the Bièvre indeed - what's left of it. I quite understand what a mess the above must look like - I made ample use of the "Show preview" button in my early Wiki days for sure. Actually the code above is complete (without the "<nowiki>") - all you have to do is cut and paste if you like. You have a great WE too. thepromenader 07:45, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
