The Faculty Reading Lists for Part I papers are revised annually. In designing examinations, setters take into account reading lists operative during a two-year period. HISTORICAL TRIPOS PART I PAPER 12 EUROPEAN HISTORY 776 B.C. - A.D. 69 FACULTY BOOKLIST (2018–19 version) PAPER 12: EUROPEAN HISTORY, 776 BC – AD 69 This paper covers the history of the ancient world in the Mediterranean region over eight centuries. There are two main points of focus: Classical Greece of the fifth and fourth centuries BC, and Republican and early Imperial Rome from the turn of the third century BC to the mid- first century AD. The bibliographies which follow concentrate on key items aimed at providing suggestive and interesting introductions to the various topics and the issues and controversies they involve. They cut across rather than duplicate the division of material that is reflected in the organisation of the lectures. They are unashamedly selective; deliberately not exhaustive. Taken together, they should give some idea of what this paper has to offer, and of the sheer fascinating variety of issues which confront any historian of the ancient world. PAPER 12 - RECOMMENDED READING LIST NB Primary sources are not listed separately in the bibliographies which follow; most are easily available in translation in Penguin Classics, Oxford World Classics, or the Loeb Classical Library; the latter is available on-line, as indeed are many other ancient sources.
