Citation edit

If this was done as a school project, it should not get a top grade, because there are no inline citations. See Wikipedia:Citing sources. When you state something from ancient history is so, and you have the book in front of you which documents the facts claimed. please include an inline citation. It is not sufficient to write a long article, then list a number of books at the end of the article. The reader cannot be expected to obtain all the reference works, then read through them all page byb page to verify where you found which claimed fact.
