Bjornlie Described as Late Antiquity or the Early Middle Ages, the period from Constantine to Charlemagne (300 to 800 AD) represents an age of dynamic cultural transition viewed as the crucible for the blending of Roman, barbarian and Christian cultural elements. This course will examine the narrative and major themes of this period - fragmentation of the Roman Empire, movement of migrant peoples, consolidation of diverse religious practices and the rise of the Catholic Church, social changes in urban society, reorientation of economy and land use, and the transmission of an intellectual culture that was heir to Classical tradition. Offered every other year.
