Topic for Paper 1

Directions:

Topic: Assume that a friend of yours has decided to go on a "back to the past" post-term trip to ancient Rome (lets say from April 20th to June 1st). What advice/recommendations would you give him/her? For evidence, use both the material that we covered about "the city of Rome (Jan 20)" and "Roman Religion (Jan 27) Some things to keep in mind:


Notes:
1 Primary sources are the passages that are by Roman sources (the things in quotes or indented in Kebric and the indented passages in Shelton) and are not commentary by Shelton or Kebric.

2. Citing: give the ancient author (if there is one) in the body of your paper and at the end of the sentence give the modern author and page number
(s) in parentheses, e.g. Martial says "..." (Shelton, 70). or Aelius Aristides describes the various things one can get in Rome, thus " ..." (Kebric, 3). If there is not an ancient author indicate the type of source, e.g. one papyrus letter from a son to his mother says "..." (Kebric, 2-3). If you are unsure whether there is an author or not, Shelton has an appendix that lists the various sources.
