the texts, your notes, and the lectures. However, the same rules as always surrounding plagiarism
still apply. All your answers need to be in your own words (except where you are quoting the

violation if you do so.

1) Large numbers of plebeians “were grumbling that, although they fought abroad for
freedom and dominion, at home they had been oppressed and enslaved by their fellow
citizens.” (Livy, 2.23).

Who were plebeians? When does the incident is Livy talking about occur? How is it that a
monarchy being replaced by a Republic can create both freedom and political inequality?

3) “The first region, formerly included the following celebrated towns of Latium besides
those mentioned: Satricum, Pometia, … Saturnia (on the site of the present Rome,
Antipolis (which today is the Janiculum and a part of Rome), …and together with these,
the Alban peoples…(list of Alban cities)…Thus 53 peoples of Old Latium have perished
without leaving a trace.” This passage comes from Pliny’s Natural History. What does it describe? How does this help
one argue that Rome followed an agglomerative model of development?

4)Do not suppose that you will rid yourself of this fellow by making peace with him.
Instead, you will bring against yourself others who will despise you as men whom
anybody can easily subdue, especially if Pyrrhus goes away without having been
punished for his insults.” Plutarch, Pyrrhus, 19

6)“A blast of trumpet produced silence, and the herald made the following announcement:
‘The Roman Senate and Titus Quinctius their general, having conquered King Philip and
the Macedonians, decree that the Corinthians, the Phocians, all the Locrians, the island of
Euboea, the Magnesians, the Thessalians, the Perrhaebians, and the Achaeans shall be
free, exempt from tribute, and subject to their own laws.’ This list comprised all the states
which had been subject to King Philip.”

This passage comes from Livy’s Histories. Where and when did this event occur? What does the
passage show about the Roman Republic’s strategy for dealing with the Greek world in the early
second century?
