640018 Ancient History II: Africa between Carthage, Rome and Baghdad
summer semester 2019 | Last update: 14.09.2023 | Place course on memo listThe history of Roman North Africa in its narrow sense started with the forming ofAfrica vetus in 146 BCE, after the third Punic War and the destruction of Carthage. For the centuries to come, Rome relied on client kings in Numidia and Mauretania to secure the new province.
Studying North Africa poses a variety of problems. Historical as well as archaeological research bears the burden of a colonial view on Africa’s past tending to overemphasize its Roman aspects. Berber (Numidian and Moorish) political entities together with Punic (Carthaginian) cities had a long history when Rome entered the African scene.
Reading of ancient sources (in translation), discussion of relevant research literature.
Active participation in the class, presentation of a seminar paper and submission of the BA thesis.
This SE is also valid as SE for the Bachelor Thesis for students of the BA History (2009) respectively as SE Advanced topics in Ancient History for students of the BA History (2015) as well as a Workshop including Bachelor Thesis (focus on Ancient History) for students of the BA CleO (2009).
The course instructor will inform the participants about the particular workload.
