Study Guide for the Third Quiz
This
quiz will cover Chapter 5 and 6 and the reading selections from the Aeneid
and from The Bible.
Although you are responsible for all the material in the chapters, the
quiz will focus on what has been emphasized in class - including the
supplementary material I provided. Most
of the quiz will be objective - multiple choice and matches, but there will also
be two short essays and the sections on geography and architecture will not be
multiple choice. Some of the
multiple choice questions will be taken directly from the review quiz on the web
site for the text. 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 Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, the
Italian peninsula, Gaul, Greece, Macedonia, Egypt, the Nile River, Rome,
Carthage, Athens, Alexandria, Jerusalem, Damacus, the Sinai peninsula, the Dead
Sea, and the Jordan River. This
will not be multiple choice. 2.
Be
prepared to identify images of the Pantheon, the Roman Forum, the Pont du Gard,
the Colosseum, the Maison Carree, Trajan's Victory Column, and the Arch of Titus.
This will not be multiple choice. 3.
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 and philosophical ideas and art and literature. 4.
Be sure
you can identify the following people: Julius Caesar, Octavian (Augustus
Caesar), Lucretius, Catullus, Cicero, Vergil, Horace, Ovid, Seneca, Epictetus,
Marcus Aurelius, Abraham, Moses, David, Solomon, Jesus, Matthew, Mark, Luke,
Paul, Tertullian, Origen. 5.
Be sure
you know the cultural terms listed at the end of the chapters. 6.
Some
themes of particular importance about which you should be prepared to write
essays include: a.
The
influence of Greek culture on Rome b.
The
themes of the Aeneid and the contrast with earlier epics c. The significance of the Roman Republic and the reasons for its collapse d.
The
vision of God and morality found in Judaism e.
The
philosophical questions explored in the book of Job f.
