I’m working on a history writing question and need support to help me understand better.

Question:
Using the example of Vindolanda, describe daily life in a Roman provincial fort and the discuss the process of Romanization in the provinces. To what extent was Romanization the imposition of Roman customs on non-Roman peoples, or was it more of a cultural blending.
Directions:
As with all historical writing, the more specific evidence you can use to support your argument, the more persuasive it will be. It’s also perfectly valid to note that changes may occur over time (Romanization is more of an imposition in one century and a blending in another) and circumstances may arise that affect your conclusions.
Essays should approximately 750 words, that is, 2-3 pages Times New Roman Size 12 Font Double Spaced Chicago Manual Style. They must have a thesis–an argument based on the topic and question above–and the paper must be structured to prove that thesis. You will certainly need multiple paragraphs to make this argument, likely at least 5. You should also use correct English style and grammar. For further details about the formatting and stylistic requirements, see the “Essay Do’s and Don’ts” sheet attached here.
