Compare the lives of the empresses Livia and Julia Domna. Did these two empresses have similar influences on Roman life? Explain.

Instructions: You are to write a research paper in which you answer an assigned research question. You must use at least five (5) scholarly sources and primary texts from ancient Rome. Some questions will require you to examine primary texts very closely and then examine various interpretations by modern scholars. Some questions will ask you to report more on the debates of modern scholars and their findings, but your answers should still consider the evidence used. Your essay must include notes and a bibliography following The Chicago Manual of Style. Contact your tutor if you need assistance during the research, planning, and writing of your essay. Begin with an introductory paragraph containing a clear and strong thesis statement. This is your precise answer to the research question. Follow your introductory paragraph with a brief background section that provides the necessary context for understanding your question, thesis, and argument (the who, what, where, when, etc. information). Then the body of your essay follows, consisting of clear, orderly paragraphs, developing the various parts of the argument that support your thesis. A conclusion sums up the parts of your argument and findings. Your essay must have proper citations and a bibliography that conforms to academic standards as explained in the Skills Modules. Format: The assignment length must be exclusive of title page, notes, and bibliography. Long quotations of more than four lines should be set off as a block quote, indented from the left, and single-spaced without quotation marks. The bibliography and footnotes/endnotes should be single-spaced. Each page should be numbered, beginning with page 2. Provide a separate title page with the title of your paper, your name and student number, the course name and number, your tutor’s name, and the submission date.
