15 credits

After the collapse of the Mycenean civilisation, the peoples of the Aegean had to reform and rebuild their society and community. This module provides an introduction to the communities that developed around the Aegean in the period from the 10th to 6th centuries BC, and will address key issues of development of culture, political institutions, and law to fit the needs of this new society. It is also concerned with the different kinds of communities that developed, and institutional, constitutional and practical responses to crises.
