For A) I said Mosiac?! I swear the little tiles made it a mosaic.. hahahaCan't remember exactly but from memory I wrote:
A.) Fresco
B.) Impulvium
C.) Fish Sauce NOT fish stew
D.) Hot food/snacks
E.) Something about the Imperial Cult, events taking place outside of temple?
F.) Chief magistrates had duty for games
What you did was right. They can't expect you do a 15 marker with only using Punt to show her legacy. To get full marks or close you would need to talk about other parts of her legacy such as her buildings ( mortuary temple at Deir El Bahri), her minor military campaigns, can talk about how she became pharaoh and the message she wanted to leave behind, then can conclude with Thut III attempting to erase her legacy from history. I'd say about 2-4 pages is a good length for this response.Hello so what did u write about for hatshepsut part b
ok thank you so much!What you did was right. They can't expect you do a 15 marker with only using Punt to show her legacy.

a) The answer was mosaic NOT FRESCO
b) Impluvium
c) Fermented Fish Sauce
d) Cutting the things up - this is the one people had mixed opinions on, its either that or hot food/snacks (my class had a discussion after the exam)
e) Some Cult activity took place outside temples
f) Chief magistrates had duties for the games
Technology in Sparta can be a lot of things, bronzework or metalwork for shields/spears, chariots, coating iron bars with vinegar, etc
And yeh the alcman question was crap, wrote about 10 lines about how the Spartans didn't write much so alcman was important in helping us understand what they were like but I never referred to what he wrote or what he did. Maybe 2/3 marks with a decent marker.
Curious as the what people on here wrote about the Greek influence on Pompeii and Herculaneum, was it on the lines of acting originated from Greece, they were wearing white togas as worn in Greece, acting out a Greek scene..etc.
Hatshepsut part a was decent, part b was terrible because you don't understand if its just about legacy in regard to Punt or everything in her reign so I just wrote about everything she did.
New Kingdom to Thut IV question b wasn't bad either. Just talk about Egypt building an empire to the north Syria Palestine region (hyksos) and in Nubia to the south. Went through each pharoah from Khamose - Thut III and explained their significance in building the empire. Can write about how Hatshepsut helped build the empire through Punt as well even though its not directly asked in the question. Reunification and imperialism is not just about military campaigns and pushing borders wider but also building the empire from within as this extends a countries power and influence. Punt brought new technology, trading routes, economic benefits which then would have helped with the imperialism. That and I wanted to do 4 pages which I just managed before time.
Fall of the Republic:Moving on, can people tell me what the Julius Caesar and Fall of the Roman Republic questions were?
To what extent did Augustus face opposition during this period?What were the options for Augustus?
Pretty sure that MC question E) answer was about feasts. It mentions nothing about anything being held outside. First of all the inscription is "Located in the 'College of the Augustales' and secondly the only thing mentioned in the source is the importance of feasts.a) The answer was mosaic NOT FRESCO

Yeah much easier than last year- would have done the building progs for sure cause I knew heaps about thatFall of the Republic:
a) Evaluate the significance of the Mithridatic and Parthian Wars.
b) To what extent were the activities of the First and Second Triumvirate similar?
Caesar:
a) Describe the reforms of Julius Caesar. [10]
b) "Not only did he accept excessive honours, such as life-consulship, a life-dictatorship, a perpetual Censorship, the title 'Imperator' put before his name, and the title 'Father of his Country' appended to it... but took other honours which, as a mere mortal, he should certainly have refused."
Suetonius, Julius Caesar 76

To what extent did Augustus face opposition during this period?
Why was the building program in Rome during this period important to Augustus?
Oh man I thought that since it referred to punt in the quote them it would've been exclusively to that I thought about doing everything... why did they even have to mention puntWhat you did was right.

If you wrote 3 pages just about Punt and her legacy that's really good. I'd say you could still get really good marks since the question was sort so poorly worded no one I talked to knew if they should just do Punt or everything in her legacy. I don't see why you can't get around a 12/15. 3 pages is a good amount.Oh man I thought that since it referred to punt in the quote them it would've been exclusively to that I thought about doing everything... why did they even have to mention punt
there's some marks off.....
... how many marks can I possibly get then :/... wrote about 3 pages
Pretty sure 'D' was hot food/snacks. The dola were all for keeping things warm so ancient Romans could eat their takeaway hot.a) The answer was mosaic NOT FRESCO

I got you man, I did both of theseWhat questions for hannibal and rome264-133 bc this year out of curiosity?
ahh thanks hannibal seems straight forward again, for section D i probably wouldve done roles/significance of scipio and cato, cause if iremember my teacher said hard to write a good essay just for hellenismI got you man, I did both of these
Hannibal question A
it was either describe or explain Hannibal's military strategies
the B question was actually huge head curve ball they gave us the following quote from Cornelius Nepos (we had never heard of him either)
and it went roughly like this "Hannibal exceeded all other commanders in skill just as the Roman people exceed every others people in bravery"
then the B question was asses the usefulness of the quotation above in determining the legacy of Hannibal
for the historical period there was no quote that we had to intergrate just two questions to choose from
Asses the impact and influence of Hellensim on Rome during this period
and
Explain the roles and significance of Scipio Africanus and Cato the Censor
