Minor updates to specifications and prescribed sources

For our AS and A Level Classical Civilisation qualifications, we have made small changes to the specifications and prescribed sources.

In the Greek Theatre component of both the AS and A Level specifications, we have amended the reference to the vase showing two chorus members dressed as birds. It is now referenced as a chous. These changes appear in Section 2c and 5c of both specifications.  

As a result of this amendment, we've updated the reference to this source in the Prescribed Visual Sources for Greek Theatre (H008/21 and H408/21) resource which contains links to the prescribed visual sources.  

We've also made two corrections to the prescribed sources for the Invention of the Barbarian (H408/23) and Love and Relationships (H408/32) components. You can view these changes in the Summary of updates section at the end of both documents.

You can view our updated specifications below:

• AS Level Classical Civilisation – H008 (version 1.6)
  
• A Level Classical Civilisation – H408 (version 1.6)
  

You can also download them from the AS Level Classical Civilisation and A Level Classical Civilisation qualification pages.
