About The Position

This course introduces students of history and classical studies to the world of late antiquity, the period that bridged classical antiquity and the Middle Ages. The course studies this period for its own merit as a time when the political structures of the Medieval period were laid down and the major religions of the Mediterranean (Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Zoroastrianism) took their recognizable forms. This is the same as HISB09H3.
