Assoc Prof Gocha Tsetskhladze| Subject Overview: | This subject looks at the diverse array of ancient human communities and their experiences that form the backdrop to modern Europe. Concentrating on the 1st millennium BC, it will explore the multi-ethnic societies of ancient Europe, their villages and towns, settlement patterns, economics, social and political structures. The main emphasis will be placed on such major peoples as the Gauls and the Celts, where myth will be separated from reality. The relationship of ancient Europeans with the Greeks and their reaction to the arrival of the Romans will be studied. |
