Classical Civilisation is the study of the ancient Greek and Roman civilisations through texts in translation as well as ancient artefacts (for the Greek Theatre component). Classical Civilisation will appeal to anyone with a passion for the literature, history, society and/or material culture of the ancient world, as well as how its legacy has been received and transmitted over the past millennia. From Platonic philosophy to controversial Roman love poetry, Greek heroes and battles to slapstick comedy in the Underworld: Classical Civilisation students enjoy the rich variety of literary masterpieces we study, at the same time gaining real insight into the lives and beliefs of the ancients.
