Hebdomas quarta: Pompeii The Last Day (BBC Documentary)

After you finish the test, begin a new documentary "Pompeii: The Last Day." This documentary reconstructs the last day before the city of Pompeii was buried by the eruption of the volcano Vesuvius.  At the time, Romans did not even have a word for Volcano.  The word come from the name of Vulcan -- a god of fire and metal work who lived under the earth.

This documentary combines social history with the history of science. It is uses archeological and documentary sources and is reliable.

Pliny the Younger, whom you met in Roman Empire in the First Century, is one of our main written sources, together with observations recorded by his uncle Pliny the Elder, a natural historian -- historian of nature, half scientist half historian.

This film is about 60 minutes long and historically reliable:Film: Pompeii Last Day


Hebdomas Quarta: Test on Engineering Rome and Roman Empire in the First Century


Salvete, discipuli!

1)   I have prepared a test/quiz (in Latin: probatio) on the films you have watched so far.

2) BEFORE you take the probatio.   Please (quaeso) finish the timeline, following the same procedure as before: date on left, information on right,  with any thoughts, questions or additional points.

3) Review your notes and viewing questions.

4) Take about 30 minutes to do the first two tasks.


5. Then go to the probatio.  This is an online test.  So use a computer or your phone. There are 40 questions -- all multiple choice.

You can take the test three times.  To take the test again, you must log out then log in again.
