On MA Ancient History you will study the history of ancient Greece and Rome.

You will also be able to study other ancient civilisations that came into contact with the Greeks and Romans, such as:

• Judaea
• Persia
• the Byzantine empire, that succeeded the Roman empire in the east

The programme will enable you to contextualise Graeco-Roman history within its wider Mediterranean context.

Religious, social, economic, political and cultural history will all come into play.

You will work with sources ranging from great historical writers such as Herodotus and Tacitus to inscriptions and papyri, and the results of archaeological excavation.
