Classical Civilization

The study of Classical civilization - the cultures of ancient Greece and Rome and their relationship to the societies of the Mediterranean and the Near East - is the origin and foundation of the modern university. To this day, it continues to be a model of an interdisciplinary approach to the study of culture, combining fields of literature and language, history, archaeology and art history, religious studies, and philosophy.
