The aim of this subject is to introduce students to the archaeology and ancient history of the Mediterranean in the Classical and Hellenistic periods (5th-1st centuries BC), examining how the construction projects of Pericles transformed the physical appearance of Athens and how Athens and the whole of mainland Greece changed over the next four centuries. We shall examine the archaeology of other Greek cities, such as Miletus, Ephesus, Syracuse and Alexandria, and many further examples from Italy, Sicily, Spain etc. to see how they developed over the period.
