Immerse yourself in the history and culture of ancient Greece and Rome, from the dramatic ruined cities of Turkey, to the gorgeous vistas of Crete, to the magnificence of Rome. In this intensive experiential learning course, the complex and fascinating ideologies of past civilizations will come alive as you walk in the footsteps of ancient history's most influential people.
Meet with archaeologists and academics currently studying the period's most significant sites, then tuck yourself away amongst the ruins to read the words of the great writers whose ideas shaped the city in its heyday. These are not the tourist hubs of the Mediterranean, but rather the sites of real historical significance that are off the beaten track -- sometimes altogether empty!
The classical period saw the birth of Christianity, a theology that both incorporated and pushed against ideologies that came before. Epicureanism, centered on the pursuit of pleasure, and Stoicism, centered on the pursuit of reason, will be explored alongside early Christianity to understand the varied ideologies that dominated ancient Greece and Rome.
