When a historian refers to the historical context of an event they mean that they want you to look at the attitude, conditions and mood of the time of a specific historical event.
the circumstances surrounding the event
they use the evidence from the past that will tell them what exactly happened, or they ask people who were at that certain place and time.
Historians do this because it is their job. There are historians who specialise in the history of Rome, just as there are historians who specialise in the history of other peoples and other historical periods. They study all aspects of Roman history, not just the assemblies and the senate. The study of these two institution is part of getting an understanding of Roman politics and society.
Historians study and write about people and events of the past.
It describes the event as it was experienced at the time. (APEX)
Historians use the time and place rule to determine how close to the event was the person describing the event and how much time was between the event and when the event was described. In addition, they use the bias rule. Documents must be compared with relatedsources and pieces of evidence.
Historians study the past by studying the previous recorded events of the past activities. They use both the scientific and traditional methods to gather such information which they then use to compile their documentary evidence.
Historians study world history to gain knowledge......
Historians can use photographs, books, artifacts, even interview witnesses if the event is recent enough. Any shred of information will be used to portray what actually happened.
