Ancient history stretches from the Mycenaean Palaces of the second millennium BC to the fall of the Roman Empire in the 5th century AD; it covers the birth, rise and fall of the Greek and Roman civilisations within their Mediterranean and European context. These civilisations were the foundations of modern-day societies in Western Europe, in terms of language and literature, institutions, law, architecture, philosophy and religion. Students learn to interpret ancient literary, epigraphic, numismatic and archaeological sources directly. The programme covers topics that are still relevant today, such as the birth and role of the State, diplomatic relations, imperialism and hegemony, the movement and integration of foreigners, and the state and the co-existence of religions.
