There is a midterm and a final, both consisting of short answer and brief essay questions. While the final exam will focus principally on material covered in the second half of the course, familiarity with the issues covered in the first half will be assumed. These papers are not, in other words, traditional research papers. Recommended preparation No prerequisites. No prior experience with this subject or with Roman history is required.
All texts read in English translation.
