About this course
You will already have a love of history; now you can specialise in the ancient worlds of Greece and Rome.
Uncover the significance of historical facts and events – from the transformation of the Roman Empire from polytheism to Christianity, to the the importance of slavery in the ancient world. You will examine:
- progress and decline
- labour and leisure
- revolution and reconciliation
- ancient gender roles
- the relationship between elite and non-elite culture
Our expert staff will support you to use a range of resources and techniques in your investigations. These include analytical and communication skills, and the ability to understand, assess, interpret, and present different kinds of evidence.
You will take modules integrating history, art, archaeology, literature and culture. You will also see how the ancient world influences popular culture. The study of either Greek or Latin is optional, and you do not need any previous knowledge. Apart from in designated language modules, you will read all texts in translation.
