Description
At its height the Roman empire stretched from Scotland to Syria. This OU level 3 module will introduce you to this empire, addressing questions such as how did this vast multicultural population of... diverse ethnic, cultural and religious groups maintain itself? How was it viewed by those who ruled it? What forces held the empire together and what happened when these came under pressure? You will learn how to use written sources and archaeological remains to explore these fundamental questions about what the empire was, how it worked, what it meant to be Roman, and the continuing legacy of the empire.
