Overview

The detailed analysis of often contradictory ancient sources, accompanied by a study of the often equally contradictory modern interpretations of the same, will train you in the critical analysis of arguments and evidence in order to encourage rigorous critical and independent thought at this Arts - Greek and Roman Civilisation (Hons) programme at University College Cork .

Key facts

A knowledge of Greek & Roman Civilisation is essential for an understanding of the history and culture of Europe, even today

The classes are small after first year, and permit far more personal attention and discussion than is possible in larger disciplines

The Department of Classics at UCC has a particular strength in the study of Roman history and numismatics (the study of coins)

The Boole Library in UCC has one of best classical collections in Ireland, and provides a marvellous resource for both undergraduates and postgraduates

A unique emphasis is placed on the importance of the numismatics (study or collection of currency including coins) as well as the literary evidence in most of the historical lectures.
