Classical Civilisation
A2 level Classical Civilisation is studied according to the AQA Specification.
For A2, the course of study is co-ordinated with a focus on early Imperial Rome. The epic literature of Virgil’s Aeneid builds on the Homeric model studied for AS and the historical background of the period in which Virgil was writing is explored through an analytical look at the achievements of Augustus, told through his own Res Gestae as well as through Suetonius’ eyes. The course also looks at the visual impact of Augustus’ active programme of self-promotion and the effect that has had on Rome’s physical landscape.
The A2 exams are taken together in the summer of the Upper Sixth.
