Image Macrobian climatic zones.gif frame right Diagram showing climatic zones corresponding with those suggested by Aristotle. The seven climes from Greek , klima , plural klimata , meaning inclination , referring to the angle between the axis of the celestial sphere and the horizon was a notion of dividing the Earth into zones in Classical Antiquity . The lists of klimata found in early geographers vary in their extension, but by convention, they numbered seven, counted from south to north. This number was taken up by Ptolemy who in his Geography divided the northern temperate zone into seven zones klimata . Aristotle , on the other hand, divided the Earth into five zones, assuming two frigid climes the arctic and antarctic around the poles, an uninhabitable torrid clime near the equator , and two temperate climes between the frigid and the torrid ones Meteorology 2.5,362a32 . Ptolemy Ptolemy gives a list of parallels, starting with the equator , and proceeding north at intervals, chosen so that the longest day summer solstice increases in steps of a quarter of an hour from 12 hours at the equator to 18 hours at 58 N, and then, in larger steps, to 24 hours at the arctic circle . But for the purposes of his geographical tables, Ptolemy reduces this list to eleven parallels, dividing the area between the equator and 54 1 N into ten segments, at half hour intervals reaching from 12 hours to 17 hours. Even later in his work, he reduces this to seven parallels, reaching from 16 27 N 13 hours to 48 32 N 16 hours . In reducing his original system, informed by the spherical shape of the earth, into seven climes, Ptolemy was thus trying to reconcile his work with the geographical tradition of seven klimata . This division in seven zones may go back to notions of geography predating the idea of a spherical Earth introduced by Pythagoras in the 6th century BC.

Unreferenced date December 2009 About the Roman goddess the Christian romance Clementine literature In Roman mythology , Clementia was the goddess of forgiveness and mercy. She was deified as a celebrated virtue of Julius Caesar , who was famed for his forbearance, especially following Caesar s civil war with Pompey from 49 BC. In 44 BC, a temple was consecrated to her by the Roman Senate , possibly at Caesar s instigation as Caesar was keen to demonstrate that he had this virtue. In a letter to his friend Titus Pomponius Atticus Atticus , Cicero is discussing Caesar s clementia You will say they are frightened. I dare say they are, but I ll be bound they re more frightened of Pompey than of Caesar. They are delighted with his artful clemency and fear the other s wrath. Again in For Deistarus Cicero discusses Caesar s virtue of clementia . Yes, you, Gaius Caesar, are the only conqueror in 34 whose hour of triumph none save combatants have fallen. We, free men born in freedom s fairest clime, so far from finding you a tyrant, have seen in you a leader of unbounded mercy in the day of victory. There is not much information surrounding Clementia s cult it would seem that she was merely an abstraction of a particular virtue, one that was revered in conjunction with revering Caesar and the Roman Empire Roman state . Clementia was seen as a good trait within a leader, it also the Latin word for humanity or forbearance . This is opposed to Saevitia which was savagery and bloodshed. Yet, she was the Roman counterpart of Eleos the Greek mythology Greek goddess of mercy and forgiveness who had a shrine in Athens . In traditional imagery, she is depicted holding a branch and a scepter, and may be leaning on a column.

The coin is first mentioned in Herman Melville s book Moby Dick , in Chapter 36 The Quarter Deck and later at length in Chapter 99 The Doubloon . It is often confused as a Spanish doubloon, but this coin was not struck by the Spanish crown or endorsed by the Spanish government. The Moby Dick coin was minted in the Republic of Ecuador, at the Quito mint, many years after its independence from Spain, reason why the term Spanish must be taken as erroneous when referred to the origin of this rare specimen. cquote Now those noble golden coins of South America are as medals of the sun and tropic token pieces. Here palms, alpacas, and volcanoes sun s disks and stars, ecliptics, horns of plenty, and rich banners waving, are in luxuriant profusion stamped so that the precious gold seems almost to derive an added preciousness and enhancing glories, by passing through those fancy mints, so Spanishly poetic. It so chanced that the doubloon of the Pequod was a most wealthy example of these things. On its round border it bore the letters, Republica del Ecuador Quito. So this bright coin came from a country planted in the middle of the world, and beneath the great equator, and named after it and it had been cast midway up the Andes, in the unwaning clime that knows no autumn. Zoned by those letters you saw the likeness of three Andes summits from one a flame a tower on another on the third a crowing cock while arching over all was a segment of the partitioned zodiac, the signs all marked with their usual cabalistics, and the keystone sun entering the equinoctial point at Libra.

about the term the type foundry Emigre Unreferenced date January 2007 Wiktionary migr migr is a French language French term that literally refers to a person who has migrated out , but often carries a connotation of political or social self exile . Today, the term generally applies to members of four groups French Huguenot s who were forced to leave France following the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685. French refugees, who were former members of the nobility , Catholic royalist sympathizers, or anti republicans, who were expelled by the Decree of 17 December 1791 and the Law of Suspects of 1793, following the French Revolution White emigre White Russian migr s or other opponents of the regime, who fled the Bolshevik October Revolution Revolution of 1917 and its aftermath European aristocracy aristocrats , who were forced to leave their native countries due to political upheavals from the beginning of the 20th century to the end of World War II. Whereas emigration emigrants have likely chosen to leave one place and become immigration immigrants in a different clime, not usually expecting to return, migr s see exile as a temporary expedient forced on them by political circumstances. migr circles often arouse suspicion as breeding grounds for plots and counter revolution. Some of the nobility who left France during the Revolution settled in bordering countries, which they sought to use as a base for counterrevolution. After the Storming of the Bastille , King Louis XVI of France directed several of the most conservative members of his court to leave the country for fear that they might be assassinated. Among this first group of migr s were the king s youngest brother, the Charles X of France Comte d Artois , and Queen Marie Antoinette s best friend, the Gabrielle de Polastron, duchesse de Polignac Duchesse de Polignac .
