Course contents :  Two parts: I. Near Eastern History. II. Graeco-Roman History. The first part gives a chronological overview of the Near Eastern history (mainly Mesopotamia and Egypt) from the end of the 4th millenium until the Persian empire (end of the 6th cent. BC). The second part, which is more thematic, confronts Greece and Rome in their political structure and their historical evolution until the emergence of the Roman empire and the setting of its power on the Mediterranean world. A powerpoint presentation supports each lesson.
Course objective :  To give an overview of the history of the Ancient Mediterranean world, from Sumer to the Roman Empire, with an emphasis on the difficulties of the historian working on these periods (sources, chronology, different interpretations).
Prerequisites :  Nothing is required in particular, excepted the notions of chronology and geography already learned. Curiosity, rigour and regular attendance may be helpful...
