Ancient Rome Outlines

History 422 Lecture Outlines and Notes

Each year, I am able to get more and more online. The notes for most lectures (right hand column) are pretty complete now for the first midterm, though many typos and other errors remain. Be sure also to look at the outlines (left hand column). Sometimes, the summary will be more useful than the complete notes. Also, the outlines occasionally have useful links *not* included with the notes. I hope this material helps! Please alert me to problems.
