Since ancient times, the name Tavrika (Greek: ταυρικῆ)
Since ancient times, the name Tavrika (Greek: ταυρικῆ) has been fixed for the peninsula, which originated from the name of the oldest tribes of the Taurians who inhabited the southern part of the Crimea.The modern "Crimea" became widely used only after the XIII century, presumably after the name of the city "Kyrim", which after the capture of the Northern Black Sea region by the Mongols was the residence of the governor of the Khan of the Golden Horde. It is also possible that the name "Crimea" came from the Perekop isthmus (the Russian word "perekop" is a translation of the Turkic word "qirim", which means "moat"). During the existence of the Genoese colonies of Taurida (1266-1475), the peninsula was called the Office of Romania, as well as Genoese Gazaria, by the middle of the XV century, due to the large number of Armenians, who by 1400 accounted for 2/3 of all inhabitants of the possessions of the Genoese Republic in the Crimea, the peninsula in the sources of that time began to be called Maritime Armenia.

Аll roads lead to Rome.
Why do all roads lead to Rome?
.
The Romans built roads primarily for strategic purposes, so that they could move troops quickly. The first paved road ran from Rome to Capua. It was built under the supervision of the censor Appius Claudius Caecus in 312 BC. The length of the road, which was called Appian, was almost two hundred kilometers. The Roman historian Diodorus Siculus noted that almost the entire Roman Treasury of that time went to the processed stones for this tract. In the future, roads to Rome were also very expensive.
To control spending on their construction, traditionally the construction of each road was supervised by a censor. The roads were built as straight as possible. All places of turns were marked in advance, and bridges were built at intersections with rivers. Road planning was a serious matter, and a thorough geodetic survey was carried out before each section was built. Special tools were used for this purpose.
For example, "groma", the predecessor of the goniometer, was a crosspiece with weights tied at the ends on threads. The slope was measured using a "horobat", a ruler about 6 meters long with a groove into which water was poured. The direction was determined by a "diopter" - a triangle with a plumb line.

Belarusian Summer
The date of the emergence of Belarusian statehood is considered to be January 1, 1919, when the Manifesto of the Provisional Workers 'and Peasants' Government of Belarus proclaimed the Belarusian Socialist Soviet Republic as part of the RSFSR. The proclamation of the Belarusian People's Republic by the Executive Committee of the Rada of the All-Belarusian Congress, which preceded it on March 9, 1918, did not lead to the creation of fully functioning authorities due to the German occupation of the territory of Belarus.
On January 31, 1919, the BSSR seceded from the RSFSR and was declared independent by the decree of the Presidium of the Central Executive Committee "On recognition of the independence of the Belarusian Socialist Soviet Republic" (published on February 5). On February 27, 1919, the eastern regions of Soviet Belarus were transferred to the RSFSR, and the western regions were merged with the Lithuanian Soviet Republic into the Lithuanian-Belarusian SSR, which de facto ceased to exist a few months later during the Soviet-Polish war. On July 31, 1920, Belarus was restored by the adoption of the"Declaration of Independence of the Soviet Socialist Republic of Belarus". On December 30, 1922, the Belarusian Soviet Socialist Republic became one of the four Soviet republics that signed the Treaty on the Formation of the USSR.
On October 24, 1945, the Belarusian SSR, along with the Ukrainian SSR, became founding members of the UN[18], due to their contribution to the defeat of Nazism, material and human losses during the Nazi occupation.
on july 27, 1990, the declaration on state sovereignty of the belarusian ssr was adopted, on august 25, 1991, it was given the status of a constitutional law, and on september 19, the country acquired its current name, at the same time, a new coat of arms and flag, as well as a new constitution and a civil passport were adopted. on december 8, 1991, belarus, together with the rsfsr and ukraine, signed an agreement on the creation of the cng.
