Ciceronian Rome - AHIS211
This unit examines the social and political history of the age of Gaius Julius Caesar: the so called last generation of the Roman Republic. It looks at Rome as a society in transition and close with an examination of Rome's political transformation with the dictatorship of Caesar and the rise of his son and heir Octavian (Augustus). Along the way the unit investigates such topics as: the nature of political competition and the growth of violence; Pompey's great commands; rhetoric; religion; the role of women; slavery and the changing architectural landscape of Rome itself; and probe such abiding issues as the ethics of murder.
