thx :)

JoelTheBoss (joel_the_boss):

During his reign, the Empire defeated a revitalized Parthian Empire in the East; Aurelius' general Avidius Cassius sacked the capital Ctesiphon in 164. In central Europe, Aurelius fought the Marcomanni, Quadi, and Sarmatians with success during the Marcomannic Wars, with the threat of the Germanic tribes beginning to represent a troubling reality for the Empire. A revolt in the East led by Avidius Cassius failed to gain momentum and was suppressed immediately. Marcus Aurelius' Stoic tome Meditations, written in Greek while on campaign between 170 and 180, is still revered as a literary monument to a philosophy of service and duty, describing how to find and preserve equanimity in the midst of conflict by following nature as a source of guidance and inspiration.

soooo what exactly should i write about because i get how the wars could be a good beginning, im sure i can make issues from that, but in your opinion what province should i focus on and which would be good to fill up 6 letters about

JoelTheBoss (joel_the_boss):

6 letters D: like full paged letters. ;-;

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no like half a page or like one paragraph

JoelTheBoss (joel_the_boss):

But what do you have to write your paper on?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so basically i have to pick on of the "good" emperors, an imperial province and a governor/consul. Then i have to come up with an issue that might develop in that province and create 3-4 letter exchanges between the governor and the emperor about the issue. and the issue and responses has to be realistic.
