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.

Assignment for Monday, 02-02-15
Dear Roman Readers,
For Monday, February 2, please do the following:
(1) Download, print, and read "Population," chapter 6 of Stambaugh's, Ancient Roman City. Stambaugh discusses some fundamental urban social relationships, and the chapter is a timely reminder that cities were places for people to live.
(2) In the Blue Guide, read the introductory material on the Roman Forum (pp. 64–7) for overall context. Then, study the map on pp. 68–9. Choose three of the labeled structures/places in the Forum according to this scheme: one religious, one civic, and one other. Then read up on those structures/places on the following pages. Note your choices and let's briefly discuss them in class on Monday.
(3) Download, print, and read the factsheet on Horace, our next Roman author.
(4) Download, print, and read Horace's comedic poem, "Bored to Distraction" (= poem 1.9 of his collection, Satires).
If you missed class today, make sure you download the Roman deities factsheet for your reference.
