Write on
one of the
following topics:
1. How are the issues regarding producing a
family and
birth control similar to and different from today (Shelton, #27-37)?
What
can we learn from this?
2. How is the
relationship between a Roman father and his child
similar to and different from that today
(Shelton
#15-24,43-49)? What can we learn from this? Note: for today either the
U.S. or your own country, if different from the U.S.
Reminders:
- 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.
- Citing:
- Ancient Material:
- 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 no
ancient author, then 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.
