MastersInClassics Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Hello, this is my first post on this forum and I'm not sure where is best, so this is cross posted from the Academia section - apologies if this is wrong! I'm hoping that you may be able to offer me some advice? I have just graduated with a history degree, and am starting my Masters in October. My Masters is in Classics and Ancient History, and I am currently thinking about topics for my thesis. I have recently been thinking about examining Ancient medicine/ Surgery etc, perhaps investigating the impact of Christianity upon the medical profession. Another idea was researching the Jewish population throughout the empire and the uneasy but often necessary relationship between Romans and Jews. I'm just concerned I'll find there's not enough material on either of these areas when I start to research and write - can anyone with any experience or knowledge of these subjects offer me any advice if these would be wise areas to cover? Thank you so much, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
