One way you can get this done easy, quick, and still get a good grade is by explaining the topic may have changed over time. You should search up sentence starters on the internet and ALWAYS cite evidence or quotes from the text. Also, if the writing has to have a certain word count, keep repeating the words “Roman numerals” a lot. It always works. Doing these main things will make a teacher happy and get you a good grade. Hope that helps!
