| CLA522 – Problems in Greek History: The Greek East in the Roman Era |
| This seminar focuses on the political and social history of the Greek-speaking east in the period of Roman domination, concentrating especially on Asia Minor in the years 133 BCE through 235 CE. A wide variety of sources-literary, sub-literary, and non-literary (especially numismatic and epigraphical) are brought to bear on various historical problems relevant to civic and intellectual life in the numerous cities of Rome's various provinces in Asia Minor, with due attention to the contemporary situation of villages, estates, temple lands and urbanized areas. |
