Quizzes for Week 5

Dear Roman Readers,

The quizzes for this coming week, due Wednesday evening (February 18), at 11:00 p.m., are now up and running.

Please take the following three quizzes:

• Quiz 7: Advanced Roman topography (32 pts., 4 min.)
• Quiz 8: Icons of Imperial Rome (31 pts., 4 min.)
• Quiz 9: Imagining Rome (15 pts., untimed)

Quiz 7, multiple-choice, digs into the text portions of the Basic Roman topography page.

Quiz 8, also multiple choice, recaps our Blue Guide readings and PowerPoint lectures. The title indicates that most of the quiz is devoted to Rome under the emperors; but the Theater of Pompey and the Circus Maximus (both of which survived well into the Imperial period) are also covered.

Quiz 9 asks for your thoughts on Ovid, Juvenal, Martial, and the topics of pleasure, sport, and spectacle. Please write at least 8–10 sentences on each question.
