13 Classics

13 Classics

Classics is the study of ancient Greece and Rome. The Level 3 course focuses on leaders and rulers of these two civilisations and their attempts to build legacy, through conquest, propaganda and art. We will begin by examining the life of Alexander the Great - his childhood, campaign against the Persian Empire and eventual death at age 32. We will then shift 250 years into the future, to the Roman Empire. In this section we will look at Roman emperors attempts to project a desirable image of themselves through art and architecture. In Classics you will learn critical analysis skills, persuasive writing and gain a wider understanding of the origins of many aspects of our culture today, all through the fascinating lens of ancient societies, their art and individuals.
