Ancient History

Ancient history is a dynamic discipline with a long tradition! In Groningen, Ancient History takes the form of a one-year Master's track with a full-time and a part-time variant. Ancient History in Groningen covers the whole of antiquity, from archaic Greece to the late Roman Empire. We have a particular focus on the political cultural and religious connectivities of the Mediterranean world. We take an interdisciplinary approach especially with archaeology and religious studies. We integrate theoretical approaches and digital humanities in our teaching. In addition to elite culture, we are also interested in aspects of daily life – besides literary sources, we focus on inscriptions, papyri and archaeological sources as cultural objects that cast a radically different light on the ancient world. Ancient History is a track within the Master's degree programme in Classics and Ancient Civilizations. Within this track, we offer three specializations: * Ancient History and Culture * Ancient History and Archaeology * Ancient History and Religious Studies
