Ancient History and Mediaeval History

About this course

Ancient history and mediaeval history together span one of the most consequential stretches of human civilisation, from the emergence of writing and urban life in the ancient Mediterranean to the complex political, religious and cultural world of mediaeval Europe and beyond. Ancient history focuses on Greece and Rome and their neighbours, exploring the period from the eighth century BCE through to the collapse of the western Roman empire, across a geographical range that at its widest stretched from the Persian Gulf to Scotland and from Crimea to the Sahara.
