This ten-week course will consider aspects of Roman history and culture, and introduce participants to some of the famous rulers and emperors such as Caesar, Augustus, Nero and Vespasian. Although we will use some historical sources, the emphasis will be on the archaeological record including artefacts, coins, statues and the remains of buildings, monuments, cities, roads, etc. We will look at Rome itself, imperial rule, other cities, the army, religion, art and trade.
