This standard asks you to show you understand how the ancient classical world (Greece and Rome) has influenced or connects with cultures that came after it. You'll use ancient sources and evidence to explain these connections—whether that's showing how Roman ideas shaped later civilisations, or comparing what's similar and different between ancient and modern cultures.

- ·Cover a range of different aspects or factors that shape the relationship, not just one reason
- ·Show you understand why similarities or differences exist between the classical world and the culture you're comparing it to
- ·Acknowledge what ancient sources can and cannot tell us, and recognise patterns or themes across your examples
