I am considering researching the assassination of Caesar and so I am reading Plutarch's Life of Caesar to start. -16/4/2014

I also just got Plutarch's fall of the Roman Republic as another possible topic- which could also tie in with the assassination of Caesar. 16/4/2014

An article about the fall of the Roman Republic and how it became an Empire- http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ancient/romans/fallofromanrepublic_article_01.shtml -18/4/2014

And slideshow to timeline the events leading to the fall of the Roman Republic

Thinking more about Caesar's role in the fall of the Roman Republic -6/5/2014

Watched a video detailing the fall of the Roman Republic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjpzDiqb3xo -11/5/2014

Came up with a final question 26/5/2014

Borrowed two more books from the Library, one simply titles Caesar and the other  A Concise History of Republican Rome which has a chapter called the End of the Republic- 24/6/2014

Did some deeper reading into A Concise History of Republican Rome, focusing on the civil war chapter and then noticed Pompey having quite effect on the events which lead to the fall. Then I read the chapter on Pompey in Plutarch's The fall of the Roman Republic and revised my essay plan to include him, the conspirators and the senate as separate paragraphs on how they ended the republic -10/8/2014

Began writing draft-  18/8/2014

Handed up full draft- 22/8/2014

Started fixing up draft, mostly phrasing issues and a few more examples required -1/9/2014

Continued to add examples into the special study up until I was satisfied it was completed - 6/9/2014
