I'm currently looking at the past papers to see what questions they've asked.
Cause more likely they won't be asking the same sort of topics again........

ahhh okay. Estelle did all that research on bones and stuff right? :)

I got one from the library that was good (although a massive section on the porn in pompeii :S which freaked me out a bit)

Hmmm I wonder who is at a disadv because of their text.

I have NO CLUE.

I'm hoping for a short Egypt question about the three seasons :)

My Topics:
Julio-Claudians- Please be something about Praetorian Guard changing role, or Senate
New Kingdom Egypt till the death of Amenhotep III- Something about the army?
Hatshepsut- It's all sort of the same :p

And P and H of course :) (Hoping for a forum question in here)

Good luck!
wasn't forum a question last year?

I reckon there will be on on Destruction, conservation and ethics for Pompeii. Its the only major points in the archaeology section left untouched.

Sparta - hoping for an Agoge question, a roles, rights and privelages of kings question, and a social status question (Spartiates, Inferiors, Periokoi, Helots)

Alexander - Its usually restricted to four major points. Early career, administration, relationship with others and influence. Hoping for early career and administration.

Augustus - Hoping for a settlements question, or an army question.

So hoping for Persian defeat for Greek World 500-440BC and no personalities, except maybe Themistocles. And well, Delian League/Athenian Imperialism can go die.

Cleoptra VII, maybe relationship with Caesar, Battle of Actium or Donations of Alexandria/Eastern Acquisitions and modern/ancient interpretations of life and reign.

Conservation/Restoration and impact of Tourism seems likely for Pompeii&Herculaneum.

Sparta is pretty much a bit of everything included.

Aristides and Cimon were in last year's paper, so I think its ruled out. Yay, haha. It's just I can't be bothered studying for Delian League onwards, so I'll stick to the Persian Wars and usually they split between the two, which is a good thing.

they often assess the personalities despite them being in previous papers, especially kimon, i think they will go for Themistokles and Aristides cuz they have nevr done that combination.

Or they could be real cunts and ask for Miltiades and Eurybaides

Yeah, there's probably most likely to be at least a personality in one of the two questions. I'm hoping for Themistocles then. Miltiades and Eurybiades, or even Leonidas haven't done much to assess on, that would be crap.
Praying for a good question.
The historical period is just far too much.

2001 was the shittest choice ever

b- Explain the causes of the 1st Peloponnesian War

Haha I'm only guessing and because it hasn't been asked it previous years as well. Entertainment & leisure and social structure could be possibilities too. Who knows.

if there was to be a question on everyday life and leisure activity, how would they ask it or how would i answer it because its heaps of info for just 8 marks. do i name all the activity and describe it or do they just ask a specific activity.

with reference to the source and your own knowledge describe the leisure activities of pompeiiens and herculaneums?

but leisure activites seems more like a 4 mark question.
can u really write 8 marks on it?

Nah I think it would be more of an 8 mark question.
Leisure activity questions usually want you to branch our your answer more and talk about what it can tell us about the people, like difference between men and women (e.g amphitheatres and where women had to be seated at the back, only men could fight and be gladiators, etc).

I hope it's a leisure question, there's tonnes to ramble on about.
