Hey,
I always found that Ancient had a huge amount of content last year!! There's so much to remember over the 4 topics!

For sources, it's easier to try and memorise evidence that can apply over multiple areas of the syllabus.
For example the temple of Isis (in Pompeii) can apply to:
- Evidence of the eruption
- Evidence of the religion
- Evidence of the influence of Egyptian culture: religion, art/architecture (Egyptian culture/Nilotic imagery)
- Evidence of social structure (religion welcomed people from all classes)
- Evidence of local political life (one of the 1st public buildings to be rebuilt after earthquake).
- Evidence of public buildings

Hope this helps!! :D
