: Archimedes died when a Roman named Marcus invaded Syracuse. He was working a proof with a diagram of a circle whena soilder told him to get up and leave. Archimedes only asked for more time to solve the proof. This enraged the soilder and so the soilder killed him. Another acount states that Archimedes told the soilder not to step on his diagram and then the soilder became angry and killed him. They also say that he told the soilder to just leave him alone and that he would come out when he was finished but then the soilder killed Archimedes before he could have a chance to finish the proof.
