about where does the quotation come from? What is happening in the poem at this point?)
b] identify the character(s) or persons described in the extract.

5: COMMENT ON A PASSAGE FROM OTHER READINGS [1/2]

Two passages from the other course readings will be given. The source and author will be
supplied if known (e.g. Catullus, Poems; or Anonymous Tomb Inscription). Pick ONE.
Explain how the passage illustrates any of the general themes of Roman civilization that we’ve been
exploring. Does it confirm or disconfirm other evidence about Roman cultural norms such as
(e.g.) Roman identity, gender roles, family relations, or political life? In what ways is it parallel to
other evidence you've read? Draw specific and detailed comparisons.
