Learning outcomes
The aim of the lectures is to provide an outline of the basic stages of development in Antiquity and to make students familiar with the characteristic features of the development from the beginning of the city states to the establishment and the history of the antique empires climaxing in the Roman Empire. Primary attention is given to explaining the causes of the economic, political and cultural boom of Antique Greece and Rome, its expressions and consequences including the further developments in the form of the Empire?s disintegration and the decline of Classical Antiquity. Adequate attention is also given to the significance of the Antique heritage from the point of the subsequent historical developments and, selectively, to the crucial issues of understanding and studying the long history of Antiquity. The spoken lecture is accompanied by visualisations of maps referring to crucial sources and analysing them and by selective examples of historical monuments and relics and historical sources.
The graduates are orientated in the crucial contexts of development from late prehistory to the formation of early medieval Europe. They realize the significance of the epoch of the Classical Antiquity and its history as the oldest era in the history of humanity with its significance for the formation of further European and global developments. They have general understanding of the basic tendencies in the development of the Antique world, of the ways and forms of spreading civilization and culture. They are able to employ the acquired knowledge about the development of the Antique world in the connected historical disciplines due to realizing the relevant contexts and relations in the framework of the European development.
