What the college says

Our Ancient History A Level course covers two ancient societies, the worlds of Greece and Rome, although it also touches on other ancient societies including the Persian Empire. When studying Greek history, the focus is on the Greek world in the fifth-century BC, including three major conflicts: the Greco-Persian Wars and the First & Second Peloponnesian Wars. The course also explores the unique society and political system of ancient Sparta, in an attempt to understand why Sparta became the dominant military power in fifth-century Greece, despite having a relatively small population. Studies into Roman history then concentrate on the first eleven emperors of Rome, the Julio-Claudian Emperors (Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius & Nero), the civil wars of 68-69 AD (Galba, Otho and Vitellius) and the Flavian Dynasty (Vespasian, Titus & Domitian). This enables us to explore how the personalities of the powerful could leave their mark even on such a huge organisation as the Roman Empire.
