thanks, I did see Xenophon's name come up several times in some articles I found... I'll check it out.

Hi, I'm working on a paper on the architecture and design of houses in Classical Greece. Fortunately, there are many good secondary sources that I can refer to, but I'm having trouble finding primary sources that will strengthen my argument. Does anyone know of primary sources from the Classical Period that discuss the layout or design of houses? Thanks.

thanks a lot! I've pretty much figured out what aspects I want to focus on, but even so, I'll have to get a little more specific as the paper is only about 7 pages long... I'm looking at the transformation of the Republic to the Empire (January 27 BC), and Octavian/Augustus' role as a religious figure.

thanks a lot for your responses... there's one thing that I'm confused about though... after handing back the power to the senate and people, as Augustus claimed, what was the reason for the Senate giving the power back? thanks again.

Hi, I'm working on a fairly short essay discussing the Res Gestae as propaganda. I'm a little confused as to how I should go about my research on a pretty broad topic. Does anyone have any suggestions on what aspects of it I can focus on for about a 2000 word essay? I'm not sure if this is the place to ask, but some suggestions would be helpful as I'm a first year university student who's never taken a classics course before. I have thought about it, and section 34 of the looks like a good place to start, but I'm not sure I want to spend a whole essay discussing ONE aspect of the Res Gestae. Thanks.
