    1. These ancient traditions of Alexander are rooted in the contradictory and multifarious strands in which his achievements were retold and repurposed, even within his own life­time.

      Should we write a question about this for the study guide?

    1. His funeral, in spite of the time that had elapsed since his death, was carried out as follows. In the Roman Forum a wooden platform was constructed hard by the marble rostra, upon which  p169 was set a shrine, without walls, but surrounded by columns, cunningly wrought of both ivory and gold. 3 In it there was placed a bier of the same materials, surrounded by heads of both land and sea animals and adorned with coverlets of purple and gold. Upon this rested an effigy of Pertinax in wax, laid out in triumphal garb; and a comely youth was keeping the flies away from it with peacock feathers, as though it were really a person sleeping.

      Wow this reminds me of that funeral passage Prof. Yarrow read out in class.

    1. This page is rather all over the place.... Because it is not immediately obvious what should be counted as a Scythian coin... Could you write an introduction (informed by research using scholarly sources on OneSearch) that contextualizes what Scythian Numismatics might include or not include?

    1. Needs little to know work. Perhaps light editing or refining of questions? Are there some that seem less relevant? Could you substitute in some new better questions?

    1. A great page. If you want to expand, you could consider adding a section about what we do and do not know so far about the Meroitic language. You could also add an introduction about the most common types of Meroitic inscriptions.

    1. The text could be expanded and more relevant images with captions are needed. References to College Library resources (Brill's New Pauly, Oxford Reference) would also improve this page.

    1. Expand page to talk about KINGDOM of PONTUS not just Mithridates VI. Remove illustrations and replace with images of more historical value. Expand references using college library resources (Oxford reference, Brill's New Pauly).

    1. Martinez-Sève

      Is Martinez-Sève's article student friendly? Could a better (more introductory) reading assignment be found on OneSearch? Martinez-Sève's article might make the great basis for a supplemental page.

    1. Areas for improvement: integration and citation of information and resources found in College Library resources (e.g. Brill's New Pauly and Oxford Reference). Connect text and images. Coins could be separated out into their own coin page and further information added. Consider using OneSearch to look for scholarly information on Bactrian Coinage.

    1. Areas for Improvement: expand sources, edit text, rewrite section "Unique Culture of Parthia", integrate images and text,consider writing study guide questions for Invernizzi or selecting different readings.

    1. Areas for improvement: Expand! More sources! Need lots of work. Most importantly study guides need to be written and the choice of readings carefully considered.

    1. This page needs lots of work! It would be a great one to improve. The maps are good but they need to be cropped and given accompanying text and discussion.

    1. Areas for improvement: Edit/Re-write/expand interpretative text accompanying existing quotes. Add additional passages covering a greater diversity of subjects.

    1. Areas for improvement: Expand discussion of each coin focusing on historical context and how the specific coin type might be good historical evidence. Hint: use OneSearch to find more information on Carthaginian Coinage. Remember key words might be Carthage, Punic, Coins, Numismatics etc...

  18. clas3209.wordpress.com clas3209.wordpress.com
    1. Areas for improvement: write new introductory text explaining basics about Carthage, beyond engineering and conflict with Rome. Expand sources. Decide if there might be better, more accessible readings (or different selections from the same books). Make questions more relevant.

      Note: the Cothon AND/OR a Tophet might be a good subject for its own supplemental page based on a peer reviewed journal article found using OneSearch.

    1. Areas for Improvement: add one coin and discussion of all coins to help reader understand historical significance. Consider using OneSearch to find more information on Attalid Coinage.
