Paper topics (more tba)

These are SOME of the general topics that Dr Stern has set up for
papers.
More are to come. Actual questions and additional topics will be
coming
soon.

• Compare/Contrast the two biographies of Julius, note where the
authors'
accounts differ, and why.
• Compare Sullust on Marius with Plutarch's life of Marius - note
where
the authors' accounts differ, and why.
• Watch/read the script of A Funny Thing Happened on the way to the
Forum
and read through 6 Plautus plays to see where the writers got their
source material
• Do a Biography of a famous Roman not covered by Plutarch or
Suetonius.
A shorter version along the style of Cornelius Nepos (6-8 pages) is
entirely sufficient.
