The specific aim of this seminar is to provide a research experience in one of the disciplines included within Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies. This seminar will therefore give students an overview of the scope and nature of the ancient evidence (literary, documentary, material [archaeological]), the history and historiography of modern study of that evidence and the ways in which research methodologies and techniques have evolved in a specific discipline of CAMS.
In Spring 2026, Jake Nabel will teach CAMS 560 on the topic of Roman social history.
