Description
The Early and Middle Roman Republic (ca 500 – 133 BC) saw Rome rise from being a regional market town in Latium to the mistress of the Mediterranean.
The course will address political, social, economic and religious themes with emphasis on imperialism throughout the period, the Struggle of the Orders in the Early Republic and the new political order of the Middle Republic, characterised by constrained competition among elites.
Discussions will centre extensively on Livy, but also Polybius.
