HIS 74. Rome in the world history of universal
empire
The Roman Empire has traditionally been studied in the perspective
of European history, yet Europe is normally defined by the absence
of a new overarching, universal empire. It is simply difficult to
shoehorn Rome, a realm which bestrode three continents, into a
European size. In this course, we set out to explore other
comparative contexts for Rome, the imperial Titan. Rather than the
oversized anomaly of European history, Rome fits into a world
history of vast universal empires spanning across Eurasia from the
Achaemenids to the Mughal and Qing dynasties. That is the claim
which we are going to put to the test over this course. During the
last decade a new comparative ancient history has developed, we
will look at Rome and the Han dynasty empire, and embark on a
journey through history and across cultures.
