Ancient History

About this course

Ancient history is the study of the civilisations of the ancient world, principally Greece and Rome but extending to the ancient Near East, Egypt, and beyond. It examines political and military history alongside social, cultural, and economic dimensions of life in antiquity, drawing on a rich range of evidence that includes literary texts, inscriptions, coins, archaeological remains, and visual art. Ancient history is not a narrow antiquarian pursuit; the questions it addresses, about democracy and tyranny, colonialism and empire, the nature of law and justice, and the relationship between religion and politics, are questions that have never gone away, and studying them in their ancient forms illuminates the present in ways that contemporary-focused study cannot always reach. At the University of Southampton, this three-year full-time degree develops your knowledge of the ancient world
