It all starts here

Greek and Roman studies explores language, literature, history, and archeology to better understand the ancient Mediterranean world, a time and place surprisingly similar to our own.

Archaeological evidence and written sources show that people in the past struggled with issues related to technology, the environment, religious diversity and intolerance, and the role of the individual and the state. Issues that are still significant today.
