Semester Offered: Fall
1 unit(s)

The axiom of Ancient History that navigable water enables communication is nowhere so true as with the Mediterranean sea, around which grew up in antiquity the cultures of Egypt, Greece, Rome, Asia Minor, Syria, and North Africa. This course surveys the historical development of several ancient Mediterranean cultures, primarily the Ancient Near East, Greece, and Rome with an emphasis on cultural interaction and interdependence.

Two 75-minute periods.
