Learning objectives

In this lesson, students will learn about the formation and impact of the First Triumvirate on the late Roman Republic, focusing on the political maneuverings of Julius Caesar, Pompey the Great, and Crassus. They will also explore how this alliance challenged the traditional power of the Senate and set the stage for the transition from Republic to Empire. Students will have the opportunity to achieve this through choosing their own method of learning, from reading and research options, as well as the chance to engage in extension activities. This lesson includes a self-marking quiz for students to demonstrate their learning.
