It was built about 15 BCE , occupying what had previously been open space in the centre of the agora. It was a gift to the people of Athens by Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa , a Roman statesman and general. The two storey auditorium seated around 1,000 spectators and was equipped with a raised stage and marble paved orchestra. On three sides it was surrounded by a subterranean cryptoporticus with stoa stoae above. The building was decorated externally with Corinthian order Corinthian pilasters . The main entrance for spectators was originally on the south side of the building, with access from the terrace of the List of stoae Middle Stoa . The north facade only had a small portico to give access to the stage. Unfortunately the 25 metre of the auditorium eventually caused the roof to collapse in around 150 CE. The Odeon building Odeon was rebuilt as a smaller lecture hall, seating only 500 and a more elaborate facade was added to the north side. Its massive pillars were carved in the form of giants snake tails and tritons fish tails . The Odeon was finally destroyed in 267 CE by the Heruli Herulians . A sprawling palace was built on the site in the early 5th century CE with the pillars of the northern facade being used to create a monumental entrance.

about the genus of jumping spiders Dexippus genus the 4th century philosopher Dexippus philosopher Publius Herennius Dexippus lang el , ca. 210 273 , Greeks Greek historian , statesman and general, was an hereditary priest of the Eleusinian Mysteries Eleusinian family of the Kerykes , and held the offices of archon basileus and Archons of Athens eponymous in Athens . When the Heruli overran Greece and captured Athens 269 , Dexippus showed great personal courage and revived the spirit of patriotism among his fellow countrymen. A statue was set up in his honour, the base of which, with an inscription recording his services, has been preserved. ref Inscriptiones Graecae , II.2 3669. ref It is remarkable that the inscription is silent as to his military achievements. Photios I of Constantinople Photius cod. 82 mentions three historical works by Dexippus, of which considerable fragments remain The Events after Alexander , apparently an epitome of a work by Arrian The Scythica , a history of the wars of Rome with the Goths called Scythians in archaizing language in the 3rd century The Chronike Historia in twelve books, probably covering a thousand years to the reign of the emperor Claudius II Claudius Gothicus 270 The Chronicle was continued by Eunapius Eunapius of Sardis , who opens his own history with a critique of his predecessor. The Chronicle also appears to be the primary source of the Historia Augusta between 238 and 270, but Paschoud has demonstrated that the author of the Historia Augusta sometimes attributes material to Dexippus falsely, and so this evidence must be used with caution. ref Paschoud, L Histoire Auguste et Dexippe . ref Photius speaks very highly of the style of Dexippus, whom he calls a second Thucydides .

Germanic tribes 750BC 1AD The Germanic tribes referred to as East Germanic constitute a Diaspora wave of immigrant migrant s who may have moved from Scandinavia into the area between the Oder and Vistula rivers between the years 600 and 300 Before Christ BC . Later they went to the south. Unlike the Northern and Western tribes, they did not successfully preserve their ethnicity and were primarily assimilated into West Germanic tribes and Romans. According to some theories, the east Germanic tribes, related to the North Germanic tribes , had migrated from Scandinavia into the region east of the Elbe River Vandals , Burgundians , Goths , Rugians and others . ref The Penguin atlas of world history Hermann Kinder and Werner Hilgemann translated by Ernest A. Menze with maps designed by Harald and Ruth Bukor. Harmondsworth Penguin Books. ISBN 0 14 051054 0 1988, Volume 1. p.109. ref Groups Groups identified as East Germanic tribes include Bastarnae Burgundians Goths Thervings Greuthungs Visigoths Ostrogoths Crimean Goths Gepid s Rugians Scirii Vandals Heruli Traditionally the Lombards were classified as East Germanic, however, the Lombardic language is now considered by many specialists to be close to Old High German , especially its Upper German dialects, which would make a classification as West Germanic West rather than East Germanic more sensible.

Language See East Germanic languages The East Germanic languages are contrasted with North Germanic North and West Germanic . However, the East Germanic languages shared many characteristics with North Germanic , perhaps because of the later migration date. All the East Germanic languages are extinct as living languages. However, there have been recent attempts by Germanic tribal polytheists to reconstruct a form of neo Gothic language Gothic as a common community language. Citation needed date Sept ... more details
