Please answer ONE question, providing evidence for the argument you make, in about 250 words. Discuss the Celts and Carthage: two worlds in the broader western Mediterranean and beyond, before and during Rome’s rise.  Discuss the Roman Republic and account for its replacement by an Empire. Discuss Epicureanism and Stoicism – two philosophies which arose and spread in the Hellenistic era. What forces and figures contributed to Rome’s expansion from a city-state to a Mediterranean power? Trace the ways in which the development of the Roman empire caused or intensified conflicts within Rome, in addition to the largess it provided. Discuss the technological achievements of the Hellenistic world and explain reasons they did not spread. Discuss the civilization of the Etruscans: its origins, character and decline. What do myths that peoples of the middle Mediterranean (e.g. Carthage and Rome) tell us about their self-conception and their values?

The Etruscans, a commerce-minded people, brought to Italy architectural techniques and information-storage technologies (writing) which would provide a foundation for the Romans.
