This programme offers a deep dive into the political, social, and cultural dynamics of the Graeco-Roman world between 400 BC and AD 400. You’ll study empire-building from the Hellenistic kingdoms to the Roman Empire, examining not only political structures but also how imperial rule affected local cultures, religions, and identities. A key feature of this track is its emphasis on documentary and artefactual evidence—like inscriptions, papyri, coins, and material culture —giving you access to the voices of ordinary people often absent from elite literary sources. You will learn how empires shaped and were shaped by diverse societies, resulting in both unification and cultural plurality.
