Classicus


[Classical Period (450-320 BC)]
This is the period when Greek art perfected its harmonious and ideal form, from when Pericles took control of the Athenian government to around the death of Alexander the Great. The name "classic" comes from the Latin classicus, meaning "exemplary" (classics was originally an adjective form of classici, the highest class in classis (classification of Roman citizens), and the meaning of the word has been changed). This period is generally distinguished between the High Classical period ("sublime style") in the second half of the 5th century BC and the Late Classical period ("graceful style") in the 4th century BC (this distinction and naming was made by Winckelmann).

*Some terminology explanations that mention "classicus" are listed below.
