Beschreibung des Programms

The study of classical civilisation is understandably a wide-ranging and far-reaching one encompassing a variety of subjects; history, literature, linguistics, numismatics, epigraphy, archaeology, art, architecture and philosophy. Classical civilisation is the term applied to the civilisations of Greece and Rome.

In terms of a time scale, Classical Greece is usually considered to be the 5th and 4th centuries, specifically the period between the end of the Persian Wars to the death of Alexander the Great: 479-323 BC. The Roman period is more difficult to pin down to specific dates. Most universities will start with the beginnings of Roman expansion into Italy in the early 5th century and run to Alaric’s sack of Rome in 410 AD. This course is designed to allow you to study at your own pace and is designed to develop an interest and understanding of Classical Civilisation.

The Aims of the Course

Develop an interest in, and enthusiasm for, the classical world. Acquire, through a range of appropriate sources, knowledge and understanding of selected aspects of classical civilization.

Develop awareness of the continuing influence of the classical world on later times and of the similarities and differences between the classical world and later times.

Develop and apply analytical and evaluative skills at an appropriate level. Make an informed, personal response to the material studied
