HIS 111
Unit 4: Classical Mediterranean

Starting Line

If you wondered why I have a photo of a bunch of people standing around on a field of dirt, I would note that this is not just any field of dirt. This is the site of the ancient olympics (Olympia, Greece), and the line of stones across the dirt was the official starting line for the running events. You can just barely make out the outlines of the seating on the hill in the background. See some additional photos.
