The World of Ancient Rome
The course will explore the social and cultural basis of Roman civilisation, from the foundation of Rome to the collapse of the Western Empire. Drawing on archaeological evidence, literary texts, architecture and the visual arts, it will look at the complex and shifting relationships between the present and the past in the definition and transformation of European cultures and identities.
