Primary Texts for History Assignment

Many apologies for not posting these sooner.
I do expect you to work through at least one primary text for the subject of your history essays.
Some of these (e.g. Cicero, Caesar) are quite lengthy, so plan accordingly.
Remember to use the knowledge you've gained through research when approaching these documents:
TRY to read the whole thing, but search out and pay most attention to the critical moments of these individuals' lives!
Remember that Classical authors tend to bring out the virtues (and vices) of their topics.
Enjoy getting to know these famous men a little better, and happy writing!

• Hannibal - (from Polybius' Histories) *
• Cato the Elder - (from Plutarch's Lives)
• Tiberius Gracchus - (from Plutarch's Lives)
• Gaius Marius - (from Plutarch's Lives)
• Several Documents on Spartacus & Slave Revolts †
• M. Tullius Cicero - (from Plutarch's Lives) ‡
• C. Iulius Caesar - (from Plutarch's Lives)
• C. Iulius Caesar - (from Suetonius' De Vita Caesarum)

* I understand if those who have selected Hannibal do not have the opportunity to include any of the above material in their essays, but please do read the selection.
† It is probably best to cite these simply as a collection; that is, use the information for the website as a whole (unless you only use a single document from this page)
‡ You may wish to browse through documents written by Cicero himself, such as his letters and orations. A selection of these are available here.
