Subject Description | From the Augustan Principate to the age of Diocletian and Constantine. How efficient was the dynastic and military monarchy established by Augustus? How important were the characters of individual emperors? How well or badly was the Roman world ruled? How far does the third century constitute a crisis? How was the empire then restructured and converted to Christianity? There will also be much focus on historical method: how does one control sources subject to heavy political and religious bias? How does one identity major modern contributions to the debate? |
Assessment | Tutorial participation (10%), one essay of 3000 words (50%), either a 3-hour paper or a research essay (40%). |
