Dot Point NSW Ancient History Year 12

This book provides questions and answers for each dot point in the NSW Ancient History Stage 6 Syllabus for the following topics in the Year 12 Ancient History course:

• Section 1 Core Study: Cities of Vesuvius – Pompeii and Herculaneum
• Section 2 Ancient Societies - Option G: Spartan society to the Battle of Leuctra 371 BC
• Section 3 Personalities in their Times - Option D: The Near East – Xerxes

Completing all questions will provide you with a summary of all the work you need to know for these topics from the syllabus. You may have done work in addition to this with your teacher as extension work. Obviously this is not covered, but you may need to know this additional work for your school exams.
