    role of the senate??

    I'm doing the Julio-Claudians and as everyone who's does it knows, the role was significantly reduced although Augustus tried to retain the prestiege of the Senate. Still had the right to mint coins and retained most effective officies, but most were primarily in the hands of the princeps. So...

    So, how was the Ancient trial?

    Yeah i made up a few for my trial, wasn't too bad, needed more study though. Hope that i get away with a few of mine.

    Yeah the all smart people, the guys who know their stuff, and other people's stuff well. Besdies, he must know some of it to understand the julio-claudians. You need to know why the people liked/disliked certain emperors.

    So, how was the Ancient trial?

    I learnt that the hard way by stuffing up my assignment, but yeah not as bad as if i did that in the trial. They expect you to know ALL sources (i.e ancient, modern, archaeological) and if the question has a source on the page, good luck, all they want IS sources...the HSC is requiring you to...

    The Benefits of Ancient History

    Catholic trial for maths 3U? My friend told me that as well, he said it was a breeze... This is great, i haven't even started my ancient trials and i'm hearing which one's more evil. Haven't even finished my personality yet it's in the exam as well. Great huh.

    Harimau, there's no difference in the society between Nero to Titus, so you can do the society. I do the society.

    Art major

    Hey what's a good art major? I've seen the list in the UAC book, and i don't have a real preference in an of them. Just want to know which is enjoyable and worthwhile (well all of them are in their ways) as a major. Thanks

    anyone else startin to get scared?

    It should be the other way around, the stuff you learnt first should be the worst and the most recent stuff should be your best stuff, since you can remember the recent stuff and forgotten the older stuff. Everyone has their own little study habit, so it's hard to say if that method will work...

    I.e the start of the Empire, a Julian started the empire... Also, if you've seen the choices, the two within 50ish BC and 15AD is Julius Caesar and the Julio Claudians, and i think it's bit obivious that Julius Caesar didn't start the empire.

    The Benefits of Ancient History

    Content wasn't the thing that i had in mind, what i was referring to was the techniques used in evaluating sources and the was essays of both subjects are structured. Personally, there is no way that Augustan Rome has anything to do with King Lear. Shakespeare's interpretations, mostly, are...

    Yeah that year we were doing modern, we did russia and vietnam. That has no significance to ancient whatsoever. It only means you can do well in modern.

    It's quite obvious, the start of the Empire, or else he wouldn't have mentioned 'princeps' * Hailing the gods for their victories, esp Temple of Mars Ultor * Shows importance of piety, especially filial piety I'll think of some more when i'm not that tired...

    The Benefits of Ancient History

    I've found that it's only helped for English, well it's just reinforced the skills i already had. Eco it's different since you do need to write in a slightly different manner and add a few diagrams here and there. It also helps on personal understanding of issues as well, it forces you to...

    Number of historical periods...

    I have so much more information about my societies than i do about my historical period. In order to get them i've had to do so much more work. If it's a period that doesn't involve your society then yes it would be more work since you'd have to learn part of the society in order to understand...
