Steel was created by Indians in a technique called the “crucible technique,” which is when two metals were melted together in a pot (the crucible) in order to make the overall product stronger and easier to work with.

Primary Source Explanation Example You need to have an 8-10 sentence paragraph explaining the “Battle of Issus” Mosaic and why it was important. Here is an example paragraph using a mosaic that was unearthed in Pompeii. Example paragraph (8-10 sentences) This is a picture of a mosaic that was unearthed in Pompeii that depicts sea life. In the mosaic, there are many details that can teach one about the Romans and their culture. There is a huge variety of sea creatures in the picture; including, octopus, squid, salt water fish, manta rays, a type of crawfish, and eels. Each fish is very detailed and in full color. First of all, one can tell that the Romans used the sea for a resource. It is hard to tell if this artwork was created to “worship” fish or to simply show their importance in Roman society. The octopus being the center of the picture would tell one that they were the most important creature. This could be because it is the only animal attacking another in this scene. The mosaic shows the variety of sea creatures the Romans were exposed to, as well as what the Romans considered art in their time. This is important because it shows how they Romans respected and had a vast knowledge of sea life for their time.
