Agenda for Day 04, 05-21-15

Dear Roman Writers,

Not much to say for tomorrow, when we tour the Palatine Hill and the Forum Romanum. Most important are these two items:

(1) Meet in the Common Room at 8:30 a.m. sharp.
(2) Please bring your Blue Guides with you.

The BG will fill in the details of the Palatine Hill, which (as you know) is a warren of structures, mostly from the Imperial period. There's no need for us to turn over every stone, but the Guide can help you understand the things you are interested in.

Again, our Itinerary: http://www.skidmore.edu/~dcurley/writingrome/itinerary.html.

Assignment for Wednesday, 02-04-15

Dear Roman Readers,

For Wednesday, February 4, please do the following:

(1) Do all of the readings assigned for Monday, but --

(2) Instead of simply noting your three choices re. the Forum Romanum, please email them to me before class (by 11:00 p.m. Tuesday evening). In addition to the names of three structures/places in the forum, please give me two sentences on each: why you chose it, and what surprising thing you learned about it in the Blue Guide.
