🧭 Exam Board & Specification

OCR GCSE Ancient History (J198). Two written papers, no coursework: one covering the Greek world (Persia and Greece, Alexander) and one covering Rome (kings to emperors, Britain). These pages map onto that split: ah-persian-wars, ah-greece and ah-alexander-style period topics for the Greek paper; ah-rome-republic, ah-rome-emperors and ah-britain for the Roman paper. Source-analysis skill is the assessed differentiator — every answer should cite the ancient evidence by author.
