Trying to upload...

 

[Caratacus]

Second attempt...

It's telling me file too large - limit is 91 kb - this file is 220 kb - if u want it post an email & I'll send.

 

[Protector]

I'd seriously recommend purchasing a book if its for an assignment, as it may be used later in an examination etc.

So I'd suggest that you get some serious texts...

As for notes, I can't help at the moment, I'll dig them up and see if I can scan them for you.

your teacher to order them for the library if they're

Religion in Pompeii

There is great material on religion in the book we are using at school: Brennan /Lazer, Pompeii and Herculaneum, Interpreting the evidence. The cult of Sabazius sounds really cool. helpful on state cults and Augustales , and the slave ministri. Lots of refs to specialised books for Herculaneum as well. Book is great for heaps of stuff.

 

[sexy_italian]

text books are always good but google is my hero!

 

[Claire Nichols]

I need info on streets in Pompeii and Herculaneum. Any one got notes?

Go there, and then click on the drop down menu and select Pompeii and Herculaneum. Scroll to the bottom and click on 'weblinks'. All the stuff you'll find there is relevant and follows the structure of the Heinmann Textbooks, which are written for our HSC course. I found the resources extremely valuable, and they''re great for when you do housing and buildings.

thanks

You really need to learn to look at the syllabus and to do your own research.

"there are no past hsc questions!"

Yes there is the BoS made some, here (pdf), with the marking notes here (pdf).

Also, I'm sure your teacher should give you some. If not, you can always create your own questions based on the syllabus here:

10.1 Part I: Core Study: Cities of Vesuvius – Pompeii and Herculaneum Percentage of course time: 25%

Principal Focus: Students investigate the range and nature of archaeological and written sources available for the study of the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum through an exploration of issues relating to reconstruction, ownership and custodianship of the past.

H 3.1 locate, select and organise relevant information from a variety of sources
H 3.2 discuss relevant problems of sources for reconstructing the past
H 3.3 analyse and evaluate sources for their usefulness and reliability

H 3.5 analyse issues relating to ownership and custodianship of the past
H 3.6 plan and present the findings of historical investigations, analysing and synthesising information from a range of sources

• use sources to reconstruct aspects of life in Pompeii and Herculaneum in AD 79
• evaluate the implications of gaps in the evidence for reconstructing life in Pompeii and Herculaneum in AD 79
• describe and assess different methods used by archaeologists, historians and other specialists to investigate the sites over time
• evaluate different representations of Pompeii and Herculaneum over time
• discuss relevant issues of conservation and reconstruction; custodianship of the sites and the display of human remains
• present the findings of investigations of key features or issues relevant to the study of Pompeii and Herculaneum
• communicate effectively in oral and written forms to describe and analyse features and issues of the study.

Students learn about:
Non-examinable background
• stages of occupation
• brief historical overview up to and including the eruption of AD 79
• early discoveries and brief history of the excavations
• representations of Pompeii and Herculaneum over time

Examinable content:
1 Geographical context
• the physical environment: the geographical setting, natural features and resources of
Pompeii and Herculaneum
• plans and streetscapes of Pompeii and Herculaneum
2 The nature of sources and evidence
• the range of available sources, both written and archaeological, including ancient
writers, official inscriptions, graffiti, wall paintings, statues, mosaics, human and
animal remains
• the limitations, reliability and evaluation of sources
• the evidence provided by the sources from Pompeii and Herculaneum for:
– the eruption
– the economy: trade, commerce, industries, occupations

3 Investigating, reconstructing and preserving the past
• changing methods and contributions of nineteenth and twentieth century
archaeologists to our understanding of Pompeii and Herculaneum
• changing interpretations: impact of new research and technologies
• issues of conservation and reconstruction: Italian and international contributions and
responsibilities; impact of tourism
• ethical issues: study and display of human remains

In the exam itself, they will probably ask you a 5-part question (short answers), with questions relating to a given source + your own knowledge.

They do reserve the right to ask a 1-part question (essay), but they probably won't.

In the above syllabus that I quoted, I have underlined what is actually directly relevant in the exam. As you will note, everything in Ancient History exams is taken directly and specifically from the syllabus.
