FUTURE COURSES

HY 304 ANCIENT ROME

The History of Ancient Rome from the Etruscan Period to the Late Empire stressing political, legal, social, economic and cultural achievements.

HY 492.004 CAPSTONE SEMINAR FALL OF THE ROMAN REPUBLIC

Students will hone their skills as historians by researching, discussing, and writing about the last years of the Roman Republic, between Sulla's march on Rome in 88 BCE to the batttle of Actium in 31 BCE. The historical approach and the topic of the primary research within this time period will depend upon each student's own interests. For example, students may want to do research in military, social, economic, political or intellectual history. 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, using and properly citing evidence, and critically analyzing both primary sources and modern scholarship.

It is STRONGLY recommended that students who have not already studied Roman history enroll concurrently in HY 304.

HY 170 WORLD HISTORY, ANCIENT-1500
