The Roman Empire was one of the few great world states-one that unified a large area around the Mediterranean Sea-an area never subsequently united as part of a single state. Whereas the great achievements of the Greeks were in the realm of ideas and concepts (democracy, philosophy, art, literature, drama) those of the Romans tended to be in the pragmatic spheres of ruling and controlling subject peoples and integrating them under the aegis of an imperial state. Conquest, warfare, administration, and law making were the great successes of the Roman state. We will look at this process from its inception and trace the formation of Rome's Mediterranean empire over the last three centuries BC; we shall then consider the social, economic and political consequences of this great achievement, especially the great political transition from the Republic (rule by the Senate) to the Principate (rule by emperors). We shall also consider limitations to Roman power and various types of challenges, military, cultural, and religious, to the hegemony of the Roman state. Finally, we shall try to understand the process of the development of a distinctive Roman culture from the emergence new forms of literature, like satire, to the gladiatorial arena as typical elements that contributed to a Roman social order.

Near East in Hellenistic and Roman Times |
WILKER, JULIA |
CLAUDIA COHEN HALL 392 |
MW 1200PM-0130PM |
|
In this course, we will study the history of the Hellenistic and Roman period a from a Near Eastern perspective. From the conquests of Alexander the Great to the end of Roman rule in late antiquity, this region was the scene of conflicts, but also of peaceful and fruitful interactions between Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Jews, Syrians, Arabs and many other societies. What was the impact of Greek and Roman rule and how did the inhabitants of the region react to these fundamental changes? On the other hand, how did they influence the culture and worldview of their conquerors? We will use historical texts, documents and archaeological evidence to discuss the political, cultural and religious encounters that made the Near East a key region of Greco-Roman history. All texts will be discussed in translation. No prerequisites, although it would be useful to have taken ANCH 026 and/or ANCH 027.

Jews in the Greek and Roman World |
WILKER, JULIA |
COLLEGE HALL 311F |
M 0200PM-0500PM |
|
The history of the Jewish people in the Greek and Roman world has often been interpreted as a history dominated by conflict and hostility. Other approaches, however, have questioned these concepts as too simplistic. In this seminar, we will discuss the social, political, cultural and religious interaction between Jews and non-Jews from the Hellenistic period until the emergence of Rabbinic Judaism. Special emphasis will be laid upon questions of identity, antagonism and coexistence in the diaspora as well as in Judea. Based upon literary, documentary and archaeological sources, topics to be covered include Jewish self-definitions in a predominantly pagan world, different modes of integration, Jewish receptions of Greco-Roman culture, and perceptions of Jews by non-Jewish authors.
