HTY 256 - Classical Greece and Rome

Although Rome borrowed heavily from Greek culture, these two civilizations differed from each other in significant ways. This class will explore the development and central features of each and the complex issue of “influence” of Greece on Rome. What models and ideas did the Romans take from the Greeks, and how did they adapt them for their own use? What were the challenges, successes, and innovations that characterize each civilization? What values, questions, and cultural products emerged from both? Students will have the opportunity to pursue their own interests in addition to our common coursework. GLOBAL CONCENTRATION Course Typically Offered: Every 2 years.

Prerequisite(s): None.
