AHST103: Rome: From Republic to Empire |
This unit examines Roman history from 168 BC (the destruction of the ancient Macedonian kingdom) to 27 BC (when Octavian was voted the title of Augustus). The unit concentrates upon the second century crisis. Political and social institutions are examined together with the effect on these of Rome's domination of the Mediterranean. The main questions raised are how and why chronic instability, conflict and violence arose, leading to civil war and the establishment of military autocracy.
