The Significance of the Hellenistic Era
What made the Hellenistic Era important?
The Hellenistic Era was a major turning point in trade and craft. A cultural and economic bond was formed through out the region that lasted through the political instability (6th paragraph, article). During the Hellenistic Era, new trade routes were established, and the economy was strong (pg.188, 1st paragraph). The earliest form of federal government was formed during this period (pg. 189, 9th paragraph). The huge amount of gold and silver earned by the Persians was melted down and turned into a standard coin (pg. 190, 2nd paragraph). Trade was also encouraged by lowering border security to make it easier to pass goods (pg.190, 3rd paragraph).

Paragraph 6: What made the Hellenistic Era important were the accomplishments that happened after the Greco-Macedonian army was formed. For example, trade was improved because the city states were no longer independent to other cities. The descendents of the Greek and Macedonian conquerors gained an economic and cultural bond through ruling in a professional class together as merchants and soldiers. Also, one of the most important cities of this era, Alexandria, was founded and became an important center for learning and commerce. Alexandria also had a library that held the great achievements of that time.
Paragraph 7: Though most women had no part in public life, some were given the opportunity to be a part of intellectual activities or commerce.
Paragraph 8: A final fact I'd like to state to prove my point is that many achievements in scientific and theoretical knowledge also occured due to the new schools and communications between areas.
Book facts:
1. New practices of farming were used, such as using iron tools, expanding irrigation, and introducing new plant species. pg.190, column 1, paragraph 4
2. Trade increased due to lower political barriers and sailors traveled to new lands so they began to trade with places like Spain for silver, wince and cattle from Italy, etc. pg. 190, column 1, paragraph 3
3. The Greek city-states formed leagues, showing the earliest signs of Federal Government. pg. 189, column 2, paragraph 6
4. Libraries and museums were being constructed in cities to store works written in an international
dialect, koine. pg. 191, column 2, paragraph 3
5. Scientists also made great discoveries in math and astronomy like how the planets revolve around the sun and that the earth is round. pg. 196, column 2, paragraph 2

In these very cities, the descendants of GrecoMacedonian conquerors became a professional class of rulers, soldiers and merchants (6). Alexandria became the most prominent center of commerce and learning (6). Alexandria's library became the depository for recording many of the literary and scientific achievements of the time (6). The Hellenistic period blended imperceptibly into the roman era (10).

The Hellenistic Era was important because trade increased, and different civilizations had more contact with each other. This new contact inspired the spread of ideas and the formulation of new ones, making it a time of learning and discovery. Many of the ideas formed during this period became important parts of western civilization, even up to the present day. Great works of art, such as the Winged Victory of Samothrace, Old Market Woman, and Gaul Chieftain were produced during this time as well. Architecture flourished, as seen in the lighthouse at Alexandria and the Altar of Zeus. Some old customs did remain, such as the insubordination of women and the use and ill treatment of slaves; but overall, it was a time of prosperity. Even when the Hellenistic Era faded away, many concepts formed during its reign lived on.

The Hellenistic Era wasn't just important, it still is. It represents a time of Greek importance. Cities were centers of trade and craft industries. Greek influenced near and far. One of the most evident cities of this was Alexandria. It was an important city. (paragraph 6)
The Hellenistic era provided women with a little (bit) more opportunity. It was the start of something new. Some upperclass women had the chance in get involved in commerce or intellectual activities. (Paragraph 7)
Hellenistic Era gave rise to scientific achievements, more thinking and for the most part trade/commerce/industry remained the same. Except for a few improvements. (Paragraph 8)
Most importantly the Hellenistic Era gave way to .. more. Something that would forever be felt by generations to come. (P.9) And it gave way to the Roman Empire. (P.10)
The Hellenistic Era was a point of change, of improvement and mixing of cultures.

1.The cities during the Hellenistic period experienced major trade enhancements. They were considered the centers of the trade and craft industry. (Paragraph 6)
2.The descendants of the Greco-Macedonian peoples evolved into professional rulers, soldiers and merchants, so the cities could operate more strategically. This created a bond with the cities. (Paragraph 6)
3.The city of Alexandria developed into the most famous center of trade and learning. Its library was the storehouse for recording many of the legendary and scientific accomplishments during that time. (Paragraph 6)
4.The Hellenistic culture expanded throughout the ancient world before the common Greek era. Even the Romans were influenced to blend the Hellenistic culture into their empire. paragraphs (5 & 10)
5.Most importantly Alexander the great was the backbone of the Hellenistic era, knowing about this era gives you a better idea of what kind of leader he was. When he died things were not the same as it was before. (Paragraphs 5 & 9)

One thing that made it important is that even though cities weren’t independent they were the centers of trade and industry and the descendants in the cities became a professional class of rulers which provided cultural and economic bond through area. On paragraph 6
Another thing is the city of Alexandria became the most prominent center of commerce and learning. It also had a library which became the depository for recording many of the literary and scientific achievements of the time. On paragraph 6
Something else that made it important that the name derives from the fact that Greek culture spread in the area in the last three centuries before Common Era. On paragraph 5
Also is that the era is noted for its scientific achievements, and the increase in theoretical knowledge didn’t lead practical applications.
