2025 OCR A Level Classical Civilisation Paper 33 and Mark Scheme Combined (H408/33 Politics of the Late Republic)

H408/33 is part of the “Beliefs and Ideas” component group in the OCR A‑Level Classical Civilisation course. OCR+2other-resources.papacambridge.com+2
This component focuses on the political world of the later Roman Republic — its institutions, political culture, key figures, conflicts, reforms, and the eventual collapse of the Republic.
Students study the period roughly from the retirement of Lucius Cornelius Sulla in 79 BC to the death of Marcus Tullius Cicero in 43 BC.
Key figures whose political ideas and actions are studied include Cato the Younger, Gaius Julius Caesar, and Cicero.
The purpose is not only to learn historical facts, but to engage with political thought — exploring questions like: how did republican institutions work (or fail)? What role did personal ambition, patronage, social divisions (elite vs. people) and ideology (populares vs. optimates) play? How far did individuals shape the downfall of the Republic?
