Second "I, Caesar" Project

Due Date: Thursday, April 12

Lifestyles Research

The Lifestyles Page

Two of you each week will be responsible for researching small topics about life in ancient Rome. Many of these will be seen as we read the historical murder mystery Ides of April by Mary Ray. These presentations may be in any form you choose, and should be considered informal. They should be brief and to the point. You should have visual resources whenever possible. Ultimately, your research will be added to this web page so that everyone will be able to access it, so you must digitize your pictures and word process your research. You will all use this research as background information to complete your final writing project on your imperial figure.
