I'm doing this as well! Why is it so confusing?! Warwick university does have some useful stuff. We've also been looking at academics like Natalie Haynes who does a podcast for Classics on the BBC which is quite good

Also if you’re studying Augustus and the formation of Rome, I recommend reading Mary Beard or Tom Holland, they’ve got some pretty good stuff if you’re interested in further reading that doesn’t drag like a textbook

Hiya,

Y13 student here, i would recommend ''Massolit'' which gives loads of scholars for most Classical Civ options but you might need to sign up or use your school to use it. This is very helpful for the 30markers that make you have to use ''scholars, secondary opinions.....'

The videos are only 12mins max from top tier unis such as Oxbridge, simple and concise, and technically you're allowed to use the opinions as your own for the other question of Classical Civ...just dont go word for word...more like the feelings given from this character (eg. Aeneas because everyone has to do ''The Aeneid'' i think?) otherwise it will be a bit ambigous
