Description

Examines the dynamic, diverse, and troubled society of Classical Greece's polis civilisation, the failure of the polis and the rise of the kingdom of Macedon. Studies Greek interaction with non-Greeks in the Hellenistic kingdoms following the aftermath of Alexander's conquests. Investigates the decline of these kingdoms, and traces how Greece became a prosperous backwater of the Roman Empire. Themes include the origins and evolution of Greek institutions, long-term changes in economic and social structures, and Greek interaction with the outside world.
