The History of Ancient Rome I: Aeneas to the Punic Wars
Class experience
The first half of this course will cover Aeneas’ journey to Italy after the Trojan War, Romulus and the succeeding kings, the establishment of the Roman Republic and its political institutions, and its heroes who served as examples of Romans mores.

I will present brief lectures that include archaeological evidence, arguments of modern historians,...
Students will gain a general understanding of early Ancient Roman history--their mythological foundations, the individuals whose deeds and character shaped Roman cultural mores, and the development of an army who would eventually bring other civilizations to their knees. They will learn the differences between ancient and modern historical methodologies and how to separate the myths from facts surrounding Ancient Rome.
I have an MA in Classical Studies from Tufts University where I was a teaching assistant for a Roman history course. My undergraduate and graduate research focused heavily on the Romans (religion, history, and military) and Latin literature of the Golden and Silver Ages. I have spent two summers in Italy, one for independent, undergraduate research and the other for The Summer Classical School at The American Academy in Rome. I have taught Latin and Roman history, culture, and literature to middle to college level students and to my daughter who just turned eight.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
