This major offers the comprehensive study of the history, society, religions, material culture and languages of Ancient Greece, Rome and Late Antiquity. Subjects range from Prehistory (c. 1500 BCE) to the early medieval and Byzantine worlds (c. 1000 CE). You'll study events and personalities, from the Greek heroes in the Trojan War, through the rulers and citizens of Rome and its Empire, to the makers of medieval Europe and the last Emperors of Byzantium. You will also learn about the cultural patterns and traditions that inform our understanding of the ancient world. The program takes a critical, interdisciplinary approach to a broad range of material and textual remains.
