HIST 370 - Ancient Near Eastern and Mediterranean Civilizations

Institution:

Bushnell University

Subject:

Description:

The primary purpose of this course is to explore the political, social, economic, cultural and religious contours of ancient civilizations that arose in the Near East (Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Syria-Palestine) and those that arose around the Mediterranean Sea (Greek, Hellenistic and Roman). We will investigate how these civilizations emerged individually in response to their unique geographical, political and economic circumstances and also what were the modes and consequences of their interaction with one another. Some attention will be paid to the question of the cultural legacy of these ancient civilizations on modern society (religion, art, law, government and administration, philosophy, medicine, literature, science, diet and language) and also how these ancient civilizations compared with those in other parts of the world such as ancient India, China and Asia.
