Description

The Mediterranean is a 'global player' which has made the peoples of three continents participate in a common path for more than 5000 years. The course presents the history of this extraordinary 'border' joining the Middle East, Europe and North Africa; and explores the complex and fascinating circulation of ideas between the East and West and the interaction of multiple cultural, social and religious backgrounds. Topics will include Ancient Egypt, the Greek city-states, the Roman Empire, the birth of Islam and Christianity, the Islamic Golden Age in Africa and Iberia, the Crusades, the Renaissance, the Ottoman Empire and new global scenarios in the 20th century.
