Thank you all for your feedback.

I made a starting page. I also added some initial values for
historic:period to the page, but there is still space for more detail,
e.g. historic:era to put the name of a regent/despot or what the
classification is. I would like to have the page in the end quite
detailed, including years (if possible) and so on.

For now the schema is IMHO "complete" for the proposed 2 tags for the
3 dominating ancient cultures of the mediterranean
greek
romans
egyptians

Some other parts I'm not absolutely sure how to handle, e.g. the
vikings, the nordic peoples, etc. Help is welcome.

cheers,
Martin
