Hey guys!

I was just wondering if any of you knew any good links to stuff about the Ancient Roman government, or if you knew any info off hand. I need some stuff for a paper, and I've got a book already, but just so I can condense it well (especially you, Jacko! Very Happy).

Thanks!

Wiggy Wink

Wikipedia is actually really good for that. You shouldn't source it in your paper, but typically the articles will have links to good sources. Plus, it gives you a great starting point.

Like Jules said, are you referring to the monarchy, the republic, or the empire?

Yeah, saying Rome is too general -- which period?

I am a history major. Ask me specific questions and I will either answer them or tell you where you can find it.

I've been studying Roman history this semester in my Omnibus class, so I've been reading Lucretius, Lucan, Vergil, etc. and like Dan said, specific questions are always better than general ones.

Maybe you could come up with a list of things you want to find out and post them here and see where we could help you out.
