According to legend, the city of Rome was founded by the twins Romulus and Remus on April 21, 753 BC. Archaeological evidence supports claims that Rome was inhabited since the 8th century BC and earlier. The city was the cradle of Roman civilization that produced the largest and longest-lasting empire of classical antiquity. Rome enjoys a typical Mediterranean climate which characterizes the Mediterranean coasts of Italy. It is at its most comfortable from April through June, and from mid-September to October; in particular, the Roman is famously known for its sunny days and pleasant temperatures. By August, the temperature during the heat of the day often exceeds 32° C (90° F); traditionally, many businesses would close during August, and Romans would abandon the city for holiday resorts.

Sparta is a city in southern Greece. In antiquity it was a Dorian Greek military state, originally centered in Laconia. As a city-state devoted to military training, Sparta possessed the most formidable army in the Greek world. The Spartan Kings were believed to be the direct descendants of Heracles. The city of Sparta lies at the southern end of the central Laconian plain, on the right bank of the river Evrotas. The site was strategically located; guarded from three sides by mountains and controlling the routes by which invading armies could penetrate Laconia and the southern Peloponnesus via the Langhda Pass over Mt Taygetus. At the same time, its distance from the sea—Sparta is 27 miles from its seaport, Gythium—made it difficult to blockade.

Athens sprawls across the central plain of Attica, often referred to as the Attica Basin, which is bound by Mount Aegaleo in the west, Mount Parnitha in the north, Mount Penteli in the northeast, Mount Hymettus in the east, and the Saronic Gulf in the southwest. Athens has expanded to cover the entire plain making future growth difficult. The classical era heritage is still evident in the city, portrayed through a number of ancient monuments and artworks, the most famous of all being the Parthenon on the Acropolis, standing as an epic landmark of western civilization. Athens and its allies have always been a great people and are great fighers, they fight till death.

Divided into separate tribes, the Thracians did not manage to form a lasting political organization until the Odrysian state was founded in the 4th century BC. According to the ancient sources, which are limited, the mountainous regions were home to various warlike and ferocious tribes, while the plains peoples were apparently more peaceable, owing to contacts and influences from the Greeks. These Indo-European peoples, while considered barbarian and rural by their refined and urbanized Greek neighbors, had developed advanced forms of music, poetry, industry, and artistic crafts. Aligning themselves in petty kingdoms and tribes, they never achieved any form of national unity beyond short, dynastic rules at the height of the Greek classical period. Similar to the Gauls and other Celtic tribes, most people lived simply in small fortified villages, usually on hilltops.

The Persian Empire was founded in around 550 BC by Cyrus II, called Cyrus the Great. His dynasty is known as the Achaemenid, named after the legendary king Achaemenes. The empire lasted for 200 years, encompassing diverse peoples and reaching its greatest extent under Darius I. Under Darius, the Persian Empire became the largest of its time. As the map illustrates, the empire stretched from North Africa to India and from the Aral Sea to the Persian Gulf. It covered 7,500,000 square kilometres (2,900,000 square miles), making it comparable with the Roman Empire and the Chinese Han Empire. Its inhabitants were extremely diverse: as well as the Persians and the Medes, there were Egyptians, Greeks, Scythians, Babylonians, Bactrians and Indians, among others.

The people of this land were mounted nomads, feared and restless warriors who posed a perpetual threat to contemporary settled neighbors by whom they were regarded as bloodthirsty barbarians. Yet they were also consummate gold-workers who created a vigorous and realistic style of art with naturalistic motifs based on animals to adorn both themselves and their horses. The Scythians are finally beginning to settle down into large cities and small villiages.
