This subject provides you with a well-rounded exploration of Ancient Rome, from its rise to power on the international stage to the death of Julius Caesar in 44 BC. Emphasis is placed on the literary and material evidence that survives for this period, and the analytical skills historians use to interpret that evidence. You will gain insights into the significant issues of Roman Republican history and deepen your understanding and interpretation of human behaviour in a historically different context. Additionally, you will develop your basic research skills and your ability to apply critical analysis to ancient evidence.
