Section Information for Spring 2012

This course examines the history of the Roman Republic from Rome's foundation through the wars with Carthage to the creation of the Principate under Augustus Caesar. During the first half of the semester, we shall pay particular attention to the conquest of Rome's empire in the second century BCE, and the social, economic, and cultural effects of these conquests. The final weeks of the course will focus on the Late Republic (ca. 133-30 BCE), where we will consider the land-army problem, the plight of those dispossessed by the political and military struggles between Rome's elites, the eruption of civil war, and the question of cultural/political decadence.
