This
exam will cover Chapter 5 and 6 and the reading selections from Vergil’s Aeneid,
Ovid’s Metamorphoses, the Hebrew Bible, and the Christian New
Testament. Although you are
responsible for all the material in the chapters, the exam will focus on what
has been emphasized in class. I
recommend that you review the following: 1.
Study
the maps on from these two chapters. I
will give you a map and ask you to write in the names of some important areas,
cities, and bodies of water. In
your studies, you should emphasize the Red Sea, the Italian peninsula, Gaul,
Rome, Carthage, Ravenna, Jerusalem, Damacus, the Sinai peninsula, the Dead Sea,
and the Jordan River as well as the sites from the earlier chapters. 2.
Be
prepared to identify images of the Pantheon, the Roman Forum, the Pont du Gard,
the Colosseum, Maison Carree, Trajan's Victory Column, Arch of Titus, and the
Roman baths in Britain. 3.
Be
prepared to identify the civilization during which representative works of art
were produced. This will include
all the civilizations that we have studied. 4.
For each
culture that we have discussed, review the major historical events.
(You do not have to worry about exact dates.)
For each culture, be sure that you understand the relationship between
religious ideas and art and literature. In
particular, be sure that you understand the development and significance of the
religious texts that have been assigned. 5.
Be
sure you can identify the following people
, characters, and gods: Julius Caesar, Octavian (Augustus Caesar), Plautus,
Cicero, Virgil, Horace, Ovid, Seneca, Tacitus, Marcus Aurelius, Abraham, Moses,
David, Solomon, Jesus, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul, Tertullian, Origen,
Jupiter, Juno, Venus, Mars, Aeneas, Dido. 6.
Be sure
you know the cultural terms listed at the end of the chapters. 7.
As in the
past, there will be some short answer questions on the primary source materials
that were assigned. 8.
There
will be 10 points of extra credit on this exam. These will be review questions on Greece.
