Each of the gene segments within the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus have been found in pigs for more than 10 years prior to the beginning of the 2009 H1N1 influenza outbreak. Pigs have long been considered a possible mixing vessel for influenza viruses that originate within pigs, birds and humans.
The art of the ancient Greeks and Romans is called classical art. This name is used also to describe later periods in which artists looked for their inspiration to this ancient style. The Romans learned sculpture and painting largely from the Greeks and helped to transmit Greek art to later ages.
Greek sculpture from 800 to 300 BCE took early inspiration from Egyptian and Near Eastern monumental art, and over centuries evolved into a uniquely Greek vision of the art form.reek sculptors would strive to glorify the human body in marble and bronze. In the Classical period, Greek sculptors would break off the shackles of convention and achieve what no-one else had ever before attempted.
