Then having lamented over his body, calling him "the last of the Romans," it being impossible that the city should ever produce another man of so great a spirit, he sent away the body to be buried at Thasos, lest celebrating his funeral within the camp might breed some disorder.
The rapid onset of the conditions is rather unusual, but may be explained if we regard the case as a mild and unnoticed diphtheria, subsequently complicated by paralysis and by secondary septic infection, for which reasons she came under observation. 'In Thasos, the wife of Delearces who lodged on the plain, through sorrow was seized with an acute and shivering fever.
Surface gathering of metals, anterior to mining Earliest known mining operations Earliest Phoenician mining in Phoenicia Proper Mines of Cyprus Phoenician mining in Thasos and Thrace in Sardinia in Spain Extent of the metallic treasures there Phoenician methods not unlike those of the present day Use of shafts, adits, and galleries Roof of mines propped or arched Ores crushed, pounded, and washed Use of quicksilver unknown Mines worked by slave labour.
Prosecution and Acquittal of Cimon. The Athenians assist the Spartans at Ithome. Thasos Surrenders. Breach between the Athenians and Spartans. Constitutional Innovations at Athens.

Also in cases are: Head of a Lapith from the Parthenon; and Head of a woman attributed to the sculptor Calamis, acquired in 1908 from the Humphrey Ward collection. Three bas-reliefs from a temple of Apollo at Thasos show a marked advance in artistic expression, which reaches its ultimate perfection in the lovely fragment of the Parthenon frieze, and in a mutilated metope from the same temple.
Vendors of wine and cabbages are permitted to enhance the value of their wares by advertising the excellence of the soil whence they spring, as for instance with the wine of Thasos and the cabbages of Phlius.
Theognis of Rhegium, Anaxagoras, and Stesimbrotus of Thasos, were assiduous and startling in their interpretations. The Greek allegorical interpretations were of two kinds: one an explanation of the secrets of nature, the other the teaching of morality.
