Programme

This module will provide an interpretation of the crisis of the Roman Republic. Students will read some of the major ancient sources relating to this period (Plutarch, Sallustius and so on). They will be introduced to the figure of Mario and the way in which he came into conflict with Lucio Cornelio Silla, a Roman "warlord", who after victories in the East eventually marched on Rome in 82 B.C. and assumed the office of dictator.
