Introduction to Ancient Roman History

I have both a BA and MA in the field of Classical Studies, and over a decade of teaching experience adapting this content for students. While my style is not to avoid tough discussions or the more brutal parts of history, I do try to include them as they are relevant and not just for a gross-out or shock factor (the only exception to this might be the inclusion of details about Roman sanitation, which do factor into these classes sometimes and can be gross!). These details remain part of the story, and deserve representation in the historical narrative.

Readings and discussion questions should be completed before each class; optional presentations will be on uniquely assigned days so they fit into our flow of lessons. 

I am happy to provide opportunities for formal assessment upon request! 

1 hour 40 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 1 - 2 hours per week outside of class.

We will discuss several primary source excerpts throughout the class. I have compiled these sources and will make them available for learners to download the day before our class begins. This booklet of source materials is included in the price of the course.
