Course description

ANCH3570 explores the societies of several Ancient Mediterranean communities during the early Imperial period (e.g., Italy (Rome, Cisapline Gaul and Etruria, Ostia and Pompeii), Greece (Athens) and Asia Minor (Ephesus and Aphrodisas), Roman Africa, Roman Syria (Palmyra), and the influence of Egypt). By using diverse forms of ancient evidence, it explores the ways in which culture and identity were used to create different forms of political, social and cultural power. The course is designed to give students a 'capstone' experience by facilitating the development of advanced discipline specific skills, and by providing scaffolded and supported work integrated learning and authentic assessment tasks designed to showcase employability skills that are transferable to many diverse careers.
