==Ancient==
* ???? first [[writing system|script]]s
* [[Sumeria]]n traders around [[5200 BC]] - [[4500 BC]].
* Dated from [[2720 BC]] is the oldest [[pyramid]] of [[Hellinikon]] ([[Greece]]), so [[ancient]] [[Egypt]]ian [[pyramid]] builders probably used to use some principles of [[project management]].
* [[Slavery|Slave-owners]] faced the [[problems]] of [[exploit]]ing/[[motivate|motivating]] a dependent but sometimes recalcitrant [[workforce]] , first [[leadership]] techniques.
: The [[First Slave War]] ([[134 BC]]-[[132 BC]]) freeborn [[Slavery|slave]] named [[Eunus]], styling himself [[King Antiochus]], who adopted a name familiar from the region of his birth -- [[Syria]], was reputed to be a [[Magician (paranormal)|magician]], and led the slaves of the eastern section of [[Sicily]].
: [[Second Slave Revolt]] [[104 BC]]-[[100 BC]] leaded by slave named [[Salvius]] led slaves in the east of [[Sicily]]; while [[Athenion]] led the western slaves.
: The [[Revolt of Spartacus]] [[73 BC]]-[[71 BC]] While [[Spartacus]] was a slave and [[gladiator]], as were the other [[leaders]], and while the revolt centered in [[Campania]], in southern [[Italy]], rather than [[Sicily]], many of the slaves who joined the movement were like the slaves of the Sicilian revolts. Most of the southern Italian and Sicilian slaves worked in the [[latifundia]] as [[agricultural]] and [[pastoral]] slaves. Again, local [[government]] was inadequate to handle the revolt - it took three [[Ancient Rome|Roman]] [[armies]] to put an end to the Spartacan War. [http://ancienthistory.about.com/cs/slavesandslavery/a/slavewars.htm]
: The [[war]] with [[Hannibal]] had produced 75000 slaves, and many were [[import]]ed from [[Asia]] after the war with [[Antiochus]].

: [[1509]] book ''[[Divina Proportione]]'' by Pacioli discusses the [[mathematic]]s of the [[golden ratio]] and its application in [[architecture]]. [[Leonardo da Vinci]] drew the [[illustration]]s of the regular [[solids]] published in the book while he lived with and took [[mathematics]] [[lessons]] from [[Pacioli]]. [[Da Vinci]]'s drawings ''are probably the first illustrations of skeletonic solids'' which allowed an easy distinction between front and back. The work also discusses the use of [[perspective (graphical)|perspective]] by [[painters]] such as [[Piero della Francesca]], [[Melozzo da Forlì]] and [[Marco Palmezzano]].
