Content

The worlds of ancient Greece and Rome were extraordinarily rich and diverse. This accessible and rewarding course explores the literature, language, history, societies, cultures, art, archaeology, and global reception of the ancient world. It focuses on key sites and periods including Pompeii, Roman Britain, Classical Athens, Delphi, the Roman Republic, and the Roman Empire. Studying the ancient world will change and nuance the way you think about the modern world, as you develop new perspectives from ancient cultures and societies so different from, and yet in some ways similar to, your own.
