I thought you had to use the source for that effects of the event question. I think I putDropdeadbored said:Heheh that exam was great. Pompeii and Herculaneum was good, laughed when they asked about the effects of the event- uh, people died?

which julio claudian question did u pick?ashimation said:BEST
EXAM
EVER.
I do core (duh), Sparta, Aggrippina and Julio Claudians.
I am so unbelievably happy with that exam. I SCHOOLED IT.
but...i thought that was just describing parts of the agoge, not really its role in the education of spartan boys. i wrote about the comradeship,loyalty part and stuff but i didnt go through the stages cause i didnt think it was relevant to the question *sigh* oh well...i dunno, i suppose i should be focusing on maths now anyway. Thanks for answering my questiontamorapierce13 said:There were 5 stages, so I'm assuming that's why it was worth 5 marks. The agoge was a rite of passage to instill patriotism, loyalty, obedience and comradeship. You needed to pass it to become a full Spartan homoioi.
0-6: nurses, not mothers looked after the babies + babies left alone while crying + used to the dark.
7-12: barracks, @12 slept on rushes + learnt to steal.
13-18: hair chopped off + barefoot + taken away from families + no entertainment.
19-24 (erine class): supervised the younger boys' education, @20 officially in the army, this class made up the Krypteia (you could then talk a bit about what they do).
30+: vote + hold office + live with wife + in army until 60 (constantly giving to the mess).
Soo, yeah, definitely worth 5 marks.
