[launcher169]

For anyone who does Augustus and the Julio Claudians...how do you study for it
i know everyone would be doing english right now...but i was wondering how do you study for it....
do you do it by emperor and try to cover all the important feautres
or do you look at the important features as a group then look at it by emperor?

 

[Plebeian]

I group it by features, eg. "Relations with the Senate", and then go through all the emperors. Although obviously Augustus always has the biggest section.

Hey! thats what i do...lol
well when i see what other ppl r doing they all do by emperor
so its about time that i see someone who does it the other way...lol

You are more likely to get a question about a theme than about a single emperor, I think, although last year there was a "Evaluate the contribution of Augustus or Claudius as princeps".

same as for the rest of ancient, going down the syllabus and organmising my notes under those headings, but as someone else mentioned im also assessing certain actions of emperors+generals (e.g Germanicus little tantrum attack on GermanY) and saying what the signifcance for each is

 

[aussie_rocks]

yeah, go by topics..... my advice is look at the sylabus.. go thru it that way. of course augustus was the most significant emperor in that period, but mention some other
