CAESAR’S POLITICAL CAREER

 

 

A saga of political intrigue, civil war, and world domination. This course examines the career of Julius Caesar amid the military conflicts and political collapse of the late Roman Republic (133-27 BC).  The course will focus on events from the period of Caesar's birth (100 BC) through his assassination in 44 BC and attempt to place Caesar's complex personality within the context of political, military, economic, social, and cultural developments at the end of the Roman Republic. Reading assignments: approximately 100 pages per week from assigned text and ancient sources in translation.
