Free men not able to afford armour

Wealthy metioks

Social order

But these were all men. Where should the women and children be in the social order?

Social classes

Today: most defined by education/wealth

Before: most defined by how much land you owned (wealth, however having wealth due to trade is not of the same standing)

What kind of a source is this?
Unwritten, written, primary, secondary?
What/who is it? When was it made?
Why would this have been made?

The ancient version of a plastic bag

Make exercise 5 (WB 67-8)

Exercise 7

• Think: look at the picture, what do you see? Not only look at the people, but also to the birds, the objects the people are holding etc.. What are they doing?
• Pair: talk to the person next to you. What you both think the people are doing and what does it tell you about trade in those days in Ancient Greece? Is trade very different in Ancient Greece if you compare it with you buying apples at the supermarket?
• Share: raise your hand. Is trade very different in Ancient Greece if you compare it with you buying apples at the supermarket?
