CLA 3301/HIS 3324 WITH DR. DILUZIO MWF 10:10-11:15
This course follows Rome from its origins as a small village on the banks of the Tiber River through its rise to dominance in the Mediterranean. We will trace its development from a monarchy to an aristocratic Republic and consider the social and political forces that led to the dissolution of that Republic at the end of the first century BCE. Special attention will be given to the ancient sources and to how we know what we know about ancient Rome. By the end of the semester, students will have a broad understanding of Rome’s political and social structures, ethics, religious beliefs, art, literature, and influence on our own civilization today.
