390 BC| 480 BC–330 BC | Greece [sculpture] | The Greek classical style of sculpture develops more realism than the preceding Archaic period. Its leading exponents are Phidias (in the 5th century BC), and Praxiteles, Scopas, and Lysippus (in the 4th century BC). | | c. 400 BC–AD c. 250 | Central America [everyday life] | The Late Formative (or pre-Classic) period of Mayan culture takes place in Mexico. By 400 BC, large structures have been built at several sites in the tropical lowland jungle. In the highlands, people begin to put up large clay platforms, some the basis for temples and others for elite houses, flanking open plazas. | | 6 June 390 BC | Rome [wars] | A wandering tribe of Celts (whom the Romans call Gauls) defeats the Romans, deserted by their allies, at the Battle of the Allia and Rome is besieged for six months until only the Capitol is unconquered. The rest of the city is sacked by the Gauls. They are probably bought off with gold, though the legend grows that the former Roman dictator Camillus is recalled from exile and defeats them. |
