HY 301 HISTORICAL METHODS: Political Violence in the Late Roman Republic

Students will hone their skills as historians by researching, discussing, and writing on the topic of Roman political violence from the Gracchi to the death of Julius Caesar. Emphasis will be given to refining those abilities that allow historians to make sophisticated historical arguments in both written and spoken form. These abilities include (but are not limited to) forming argumentative theses, finding and properly citing evidence, and critically analyzing both primary sources and modern scholarship.
