Post #2: Internet activity for Monday: from the legacy of the Gracchi brothers through the Social War

Fill out HANDOUT 4 as you read the websites posted below.


Pictured above: Gaius Gracchus giving a speech.

Most of the questions on your handout refer to The Late Roman Republic website.
Use http://www.onelook.com/ for dictionary definitions. You may use any of the links that come up, but I would recommend the Oxford English Dictionary. For a fun time defining words, check out http://www.ninjawords.com/.


Above: Marius. Read about him here.


Here is the illustration I mentioned click here (or go to the Wikipedia article).

Click for the article on the Equestrian order.

We will go over Sulla and Pompey tomorrow. Please work on the Gaius Gracchus question sheet tonight. It is due on Wednesday. There will be a short vocabulary "quiz" at the beginning of tomorrow's class based on today's words. You will be allowed to use your notes, but you will need to put the words in the appropriate historical context in a complete sentence.

E-mail me at mhmshistory@gmail.com if you have any questions.
