History of the Ancient World - First Class Meeting

History of the Ancient World
TTh 12:30-3:30 pm


There are few rules and there are consequences for every action or non-action. It’s not mandatory you show up - class participation is only 50% of your grade.

Course description: A closer examination of the beginnings of civilization in Egypt and Mesopotamia, the rise and decline of Greece, the Roman Republic and Empire to 180 A.D.

Course Prerequisites: None

Grade Evaluation:
• Class participation 50%
• Written assignments 15%
• Exams 35%

Course Text: TBD


For this session, check in and general discussion. Small as we are gives greater leeway in what material we cover during the course of the class. Structure can be loosened in favor of deeper analysis of specific interests.

What piques your interest? What would you prefer to examine in greater detail?


(Latecomers - Sign up still open.)

*walks in and takes a seat in the front*
Well, since it's kind of empty I guess I'll start. I'm particulary interested in Roman history. They were the masters when it came to military tactics and I'd like to learn how they were able to conquer most of the known world without magic.
