주당 1-2시간. Homework, designed to take no more than an hour in total per week, will be assigned in three forms: (a) Before some of the fifteen meetings students will be asked to study a Source Sheet which will contain primary sources from ancient Roman authors in English translation, related to each class, and able to stir up class discussion. This source sheet will be distributed in advance as part of class preparation (each Source Sheet will be uploaded a few days in advance). (b) Two optional quizzes: a quiz based on Caligula and Claudius (days 1 to 8) and a second quiz based on Nero (days 9 to 16). (c) An optional essay on a topic to be arranged.학습 평가
I do not believe that a letter grade is meaningful for an on-going class on ancient history at OutSchool. However, as I often do with my one-time classes, which are always small classes (up to 7 students), I communicate with the parents and the children directly, providing my personal comments, private feedback and an informal assessment.채점

(A) Required Experience: This is a mutli-day class addressed to students who already have a background on ancient civilizations, and a special interest in the Roman History. N.B.: This course is entitled Part 4, which means that there are three other courses preceding this one. However, the students do not necessarily need to take first my courses on "Roman Republican History" or on "Julius Caesar and Octavian Augustus" (offered also as multi-day courses under the title of Roman History Part 1 and 2 respectively) in order to sign up for this one. Nor do they need to take the course on the life and time of Emperor Augustus (also offered as a multi-day course under the title Roman History Part 3), but they are strongly recommended to do so. In other words, anyone interested in learning about Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius and Nero (the Julio-Claudian Dynasty) is welcomed in the classroom. (B) Teaching style and students interaction: The learning process of this class is based on a combination of a power-point presentation, a lecture that asks students to participate, class dialogue, questions based on the ongoing lecture, and new ideas based on the participants. There is not one universal solution to teach. Rather I combine techniques to achieve the maximum of my strengths and of my students. Having taught so far young kids, teenagers, University students and mature learners, I know that teachers need to approach students with understanding. After all, such a small class has the advantage of making the combined technique of ppt presentation-lecture-dialogue feasible and efficient. Thanks to Zoom, engaging students and interacting with them is always possible. (C) Topics to be covered, and class structure: Weeks 1 to 5: The Successor of Augustus (We will explore the first Roman to succeed the legendary Octavian Augustus, inheriting a whole empire as the next "Augustus") Week 1: The Deificiation of Augustus Week 2: Tiberius and his mother Livia Augusta Week 3: The potential successors of Tiberius (Germanicus, Drusus Minor, Nero Julius Caesar and Drusus Julius Caesar) Week 4: Tiberius ruling - Sejanus Week 5: Tiberius in the provinces Weeks 6 to 8: The Short Reign of Caligula (We will try to understand if he was really a sociopath or a young man misunderstood and misrepresented) Week 6: Caligula and His Family Week 7: Caligula, Divus Augustus and Other Gods Week 8: Caligula as Augustus Weeks 9 to 14: The Unexpected Reign of Claudius (We will discusss why Caligula's assassination in 41 CE was really the "End" of the Roman "Republic") Week 9: Caligula's Assassination - The Accession of Claudius - Claudius and the Imperial Family Week 10: Claudius and His Family Week 11: Claudius' Conquest of Britain (Claudius, as all his predecessors, needed a military triumph and a court to praise him for it) Week 12: Claudius and the provinces (Roman colonization and the case of Lugdunum [mod. Lyons]) Week 13: Claudius as Augustus (Claudius proved himself an empire-wide administrator) Week 14: Claudius' Freedmen - Nero as Young Augustus - Death of Claudius Weeks 15 to 19: The Spectacular Reign of Nero (As a dynasty, the Julio-Claudians need a successor of Claudius from the family of Augustus. This one is the notorius Nero who start his career as emperor in a much promising way) Week 15: Deification of Claudius - Nero and his mother Agrippina the Younger Week 16: Nero in Rome (the spectacles and spectacular life of Nero) Week 17: Nero's Domus Aurea Week 18: Nero's "spectacular" triumph in Armenia and Parthia Week 19: Nero as Apollo - Nero's spectacular journey in Greece - Nero's spectacular, yet mocking triumph Week 20: Conspiracies and Revolts against Nero A Fifth Part of this series of Multi-Day Roman History Classes will be offered focused mainly on the Flavian Dynasty (ca. 69/70 - 96 CE) and its Aftermath.
학습 목표
In this class students will be able to appreciate the beauty and importance of the study of history. Having studied myself history at a graduate and postgraduate level, and trained in archaeological excavations, ancient languages (Greek, Latin), and the use of various aspects of ancient material culture (art, architecture, coins etc), I want to bring this full picture to my classes.
The students will discuss in class under my guidance about major Roman monuments, Roman art, the Roman gods, Roman society, and classical Latin texts in English translation, so as to understand Roman history in its entirety. The epistemological approach according to which History means facts based on reliable primary sources, remains still relevant for me, if not necessary today.
Ancient History means also appreciating ancient cultures, respecting them, learning from their mistakes, and admiring them for their accompishments. History can be also used as a point of reference or a measure of comparison between an ancient pre-modern society and our contemporary post-modern world.
For students who are taking Roman History classes at their school, this class can be used as a supplementary class to refresh their memory, strengthen their knowledge, advance their understading and sharpen their critical thinking.
그 외 세부 사항
학부모 가이드
In the ancient Roman art gods are sometimes depicted naked. This being said, any artistic reproduction in ancient art should be expected to show nude gods. I try to use as less as possible, but it is not always within my hands since this is the nature of the ancient Greek art itself. Since, it is an art that comes from an era where there were no photographs, or videos, the art is found only on painted vases, wall paintings and sculpture. Nudity was never meant to provoke, but to tell to the ancient viewer that gods are not mortal humans and, thus, they do not need clothes. As you may very well understand, I cannot change the history of art, nor my preference in showing students the original art from ancient times.
사전 요구 사항
