Text and Context

 

1.  Select an inscription or papyrus from Lewis and Reinhold that is dated after the consulship of M. Cicero and C. Antonius.  Be very careful  to note the documentary title of your document not the title which has been conveniently created for it.

 

2.  Make a list of possible topics, observations or questions that you might make from and about this document concerning Mediterranean and Roman society in the late Republican period. 

 

3.  On Thursday 27 February hand in a single page on which you name your document and list some of the questions that you will discuss from it.

 

4.  Once you obtain professorial approval for your selection and your questions, carefully craft an essay in which you can discuss some of the issues raised from your document and the questions posed by you. Your work is not meant to be definitive but must place close attention on the topics,  personae, and events that we have covered in class.
