Cyrus the Great, who was also named Cyrus II, was born between 590-589 BC in Media. He was the first Persian leader and became the first king of the Persian Empire.
His biggest accomplishment was the conquest of Babylonia. Cyrus was able to easily conquest Babilonia, among other things, because the citizens from this city were completely opposed to their governor.
He was the ruler of the largest and most extended empire of his time.
England was pretty much broke after the French and Indian War, and to start getting money and paying back debts, they started taxing the American colonies. Some of the specific things they taxed were tea (which led to the Boston Tea Party), stamps, glass, lead, and paints that were imported into the colonies. All these taxes fell under the Townshend Acts.

<span>Roman military personal equipment</span> was produced in large numbers to established patterns, and it was used in an established way. These standard patterns and uses were called the res militaris or disciplina. Its regular practice during the Roman Republic and Roman Empire led to military excellence and victory. Roman equipment (especially armor) gave them "a very distinct advantage over their barbarian enemies." [1]This did not imply that every Roman soldier had better equipment than the richer men among his opponents. According to Edward Luttwak, Roman equipment was not of a better quality than that used by the majority of its adversaries.[2]
Initially, they used weapons based on Greek and Etruscan models. On encountering the Celts, they based new varieties on Celtic equipment. To defeat the Carthaginians, they constructed an entire fleet de novo based on the Carthaginian model. Once a weapon was adopted, it became standard. The standard weapons varied somewhat during Rome's long history, but the equipment and its use were never individual.
The legionary wore his sword high on the right side of his body. This enabled it to be drawn underarm with his right hand without interfering with the shield<span> which he carried in his left.</span>
A soldier carried two spears to throw at the enemy. The spears were just over two metres* long and they were designed to bend and stick in the enemy's shield so he cannot use it to protect himself. They were difficult to pull out and will bend on impact, so they couldn't be thrown back at the attacking Roman soldiers.
<span>The pugio was a small dagger used by Roman soldiers as a sidearm. It was worn on left side.</span>
