Roms Courses

Roms courses offer the perfect opportunity to explore the history and culture of Ancient Rome in an immersive and engaging way. From the Golden Age of Augustus and the rise of the Roman Empire to the fall of its republic and the creation of the vast and highly advanced trading networks that operated throughout the Mediterranean, Roms courses offer a wealth of knowledge and invaluable insight into this fascinating civilization. Roms courses may be tailored to provide a comprehensive overview of Ancient Rome or may focus on a specific period or topic, such as the late Republic or military strategy. Instructors typically provide students with a foundation in Roman history, culture and literature and then provide in-depth discussion and analysis of related art, architecture, law, and philosophy. Through the use of primary source materials and multimedia, students gain an unparalleled understanding of how Ancient Rome reached its peak of power and influence and what led to its ultimate downfall. Roms courses may also be combined with other course offerings related to Ancient Rome and the Mediterranean, such as Ancient Greek archaeology or Biblical studies. In these cases, the courses provide valuable information about the various civilizations and cultures that interacted with and helped shape Ancient Rome. The interaction between the Eastern and Western Empires and the impact of these exchanges on the development of the Roman Empire are explored in depth. By the end of a Roms course, students should have developed a thorough understanding of the culture and politics of Ancient Rome, from its founding to its decline. As a result, they will have acquired not only knowledge but also the critical thinking skills required to analyze and draw conclusions about this amazing historical period.
