Juliolaudians For those doing Tiberius, here is a commentary on the treason trials. Hope they are of some use. Magister

Claudius This thread is really takin off!! As previously mentioned, here are some notes on good old Clau-Clau-Claudius, bless him! Magister

Julio-Claudians If you want to be well prepared, I suggest you cover Claudius, mainly because he was rather different in many ways to his predecessors in his intellect, a great administrator, develop and refinement of the Civil Service, was less idiotic and disabled than has been believed, and...

Julio-Claudians Don't try to second-guess the examination committee!! Just be prepared for a question (a) Solely on some aspect of Augustus' Principate (b) One which might require some applied knowledge/information about Octavian/Augustus in combination...

Re Julio Claudians I wouldn't take the Catholic Trial Papers as an accurate reflection of the actual HSC exam. Over the years I've found their questions to be quite idiosyncratic and I refused to use them with my classes, even though Govt. schools have access to them. It is best to go by the...

Pompey's Vaccilations Hi, all! I'm attaching a couple of files on Pompey, especially about his military commands and the illrgal powers they gave him. More to follow when I finish typing them up! Best wishes for your study, Magister

Re Augustus' Principate and the Succeesion I am attaching a file on the above topic which I updated from some old UNE lecture notes. I hope they will help some of you. It is highly desirable to read Augustus "Res Gestae" in which he summarises his achievements. It is a very propagandist piece...

Re CSU Campus I work for Student Services at Wagga Wagga Campus and I know that both campuses (WW and Thurgoona) are very helpful to students. There is someone who looks after student accommodation. If you check the CSU website and look under Student Services you will get information about...

Re Julio-Claudians With Augustus it's important to know about the Principate and how he managed to maintain the guise of republican government when in effect it was one-man rule. Look at his "Res Gestae" as a primary source told from his point of view. It is propagandist and can be compared...

Hi to all who have been asking for help with this topic. I'm posting below a handout I used with my 3 Unit students who did the Thucydides Option in an earlier syllabus. It deals with the actions of the Delian League (DL) up to the period of the Thirty Years Peace and has references to sources...

Re name of thread in AH The thread is Women in Athens. Magister

I have trie THREE time to post a reply to a member requesting help re Athenian Women. The posting rules at the bottom keep saying "Unable to post". Why is this happening? Another member has been able to post a reply, so why can't I? As far as I know I have never contravened any of the posting...

Caesar and the "Wicker-Man" The "Wicker-man" was part of pagan Celtic culture and linked closely to the Druids.It was a form of ritual human sacrifice where a huge cage built as an effigy of a man was made from wood or wicker. Living humans and sometimes animals were stuffed inside and set...

notes on AH and Performance Poetry Hi! Are you doing Komninos? I am tutoring in this and have the OTEN unit of work. I could scan some pages for you if it would help you. Yeah, I can send you stuff by email on most of the AH topics you names. If you give me an email or postal address I...

Re Roman Republic notes Hi! I tried to send you an email with attachments, but your account is full and won't aacept the message. If you free up some space, I'll try again tonight. Good luck, Magister

Re Pericles Hi! He held the position of STRATEGOS (general) for that period of time. Although the principle of rotation of office was involved in all elected/selected positions, the position of strategos (there were 10 strategoi annually elected from the 10 tribes) could be re-elected and a...

Re monopolising AH Forum I think the Merewether Mafia is trying to establish an oligarcy within this forum! (Do they do the same thing in class, I wonder...) Much amused, Magister

Hi jimmick! What don't you like about AH that makes you want to drop it???? As you are doing so very well, I would strongly consider keeping going. If your school-based assessment remains around this standard, and you do similarly well in the HSC exam, scaling should not affect your result...

re battle of Plataea Hi! I think you will find that most sources acknowledge that Sparta and Pausanias were most responsible for the victory at Plataea. They managed to keep a large combined loyalist Greek force under some degree of contro, despite the many squabbles and conflicts between...
