For " new to ACE" teachers, this is to give you a rough idea of the upcoming Fall Essay Contest for 2011, hich we give your students two months to complete.   We take interesting characters from the Roman Imperial past :  Your students choose their subjects from a short list... for example:  last year, the subjects were :
Agrippa (Marcus Vipsanius);  Vespasian;  Sabina ( wife of Hadrian);  Gordian III & Tranquillina;  Valerian I;   Crispus ( son of Constantine) or Theodosius I.   We got some fantastic essays!
