Romans Versus Macedons

The Battle of Pydna 

This week we're studying Plutarch's Life of Aemilius Paulus and learning about the The Third Macedonian War and the Battle of Pydna, which resulted in the Roman takeover of the Greeks. This is D's fourth year reading Plutarch's Lives - one life per term/ three per year. We use Anne White's study guides at Ambleside Online. This term I also spent quite a bit of time  on Aemilius Paulus research because it's S's first time with Plutarch. You can find all of my Aemilius Paulus links at my Del.icio.us.
