Institution:

University of Rochester

Subject:

Description:

In this course, we will read selections of the writings of the Roman historians Livy and Tacitus. Much of our class time will be devoted to translation and to understanding the use of language and syntax by the two authors. We will also examine critically the historical content of the texts we are reading, and we will learn about the social and historical setting in which the authors themselves lived and wrote. In this context, we will read some modern scholarship on Livy and Tacitus and also writings (in translation) of other ancient authors.
