yeah i def wrote the least for the essay, i wrote like 8 or 9 pages for xerxes, 7 for persian society, and used 1 extra page for pompeii and herculaneum, but for greek world i only wrote like 5 and a halfMy only gripes with the exam was the last question on the Julio Claudians. I chose option B as opposed to option a cause I didn’t remember much of Augustus’ death and its impacts. But overall I wrote the least for that compared to my other sections
yeah i think roughly the same for my equivalent of those topicsyeah i def wrote the least for the essay, i wrote like 8 or 9 pages for xerxes, 7 for persian society, and used 1 extra page for pompeii and herculaneum, but for greek world i only wrote like 5 and a half
how many words do you write per line? i do around 6 i think (my handwriting is pretty big)Do I just have really small handwriting, because my essay was only 3 1/2 pages long???
12+ per line hahahow many words do you write per line? i do around 6 i think (my handwriting is pretty big)

source E was an extract from professor wallace hadrill, who started the Herculaneum conservation project. basically a massive archaeological project in Herculaneum aimed at restoring the town through funding, as the town received even less international funding than pompeii and was neglected.same here lmao
yeah ty, i talked about how it has less public buildings so it makes it harder but i just feel like it didnt link to the question as much yksource E was an extract from professor wallace hadrill, who started the Herculaneum conservation project. basically a massive archaeological project in Herculaneum aimed at restoring the town through funding, as the town received even less international funding than pompeii and was neglected.
even if you didn’t get to study him, all you really needed to know is that he was talking about how Herculaneum by comparison has far less public buildings which makes studying its public life a bit more difficult. but you can make inferences from the bathhouses and the theater that’s there as well as the absence of many public buildings to show the wealth of the town
i didnt do enough, i wrote like 4 pages of actual stuff and then an extra page and a half of yap (i think im cooked)how many pages did you guys smash thru for section 4? historical periods
