|
|
|
In this course, the period of Roman history from the revolution initiated by the Gracchi to the demise of the Republic and the establishment of the Principate under Augustus will be discussed. Political, social and cultural developments will be traced which culminated in the violent death of the old system and a new government established by Augustus acceptable to the tradition-loving Romans. The events will be examined through the words of participants such as Terence, Cato, Polybius, Cicero, Caesar, Sallust, Catullus, Horace, Virgil, and Ovid. The disciplines of history and English will be treated together; therefore all sessions will be held in common. Grades will be based upon two examinations and assigned papers using both historical and English perspectives.
