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.

Bjornlie The life, works, and death of Cicero is in some ways iconic for the last stages of the Roman Republic. Cicero's life spanned a period of intense political, social and intellectual change that would inevitably lead to the rise of autocratic emperors. Sometimes a participant, and always an acute observer of affairs in Rome, Cicero provides us with a remarkably detailed picture of an ancient society in evolution. This course will follow, and question the nature of, the end of the Roman Republic through a close inspection of Cicero's political speeches and court cases, letters to friends (and enemies), and moral and philosophical treatises. Offered every other year.
