Kirsten Blog Week 2

     The past week I have been researching more in depth of on the topic of bread and circus. I’m coming across the issue of finding books about the topic but in the incorrect time period.  A lot of the information in the books I have checked out makes their central time period centuries later after the Roman Empire and only use ancient Rome as a point of reference. For Pax Romana there shockingly wasn’t much to check out unless it was in a generalized ancient Rome textbook. Stepping back from the research I found I thought about what may the solution to the issue I am coming across.  Going back to the Milner Library website I searched through the articles and found more helpful research. Something that also helped was not just focusing on the two ideas of Pax Romana and bread and circus but spectacle as a whole. With this I found myself able to move my research forward to forward and find sufficient research on ancient roman spectacle.
