For week four, we are examining the classical Mediterranean of
Greece and Rome, and the international trading system that
developed in light of the establishment of imperial systems
between 500 B.C. (BCE) and 500 A.D. (CE).
Please answer at least ONE of the following questions.
Remember to answer as completely as possible, and explain
using specific facts, events, and other points. Organize the
answers and produce well-written efforts. Work to develop the
answer beyond basic facts by explaining points fully. As a short
cut, you may cite the text as "Bentley and Ziegler, 108" (noting
authors and page numbers). Other sources should be cited fully
using the University of Chicago Style . When in doubt, cite and
reference completely.
Remember, please post by Thursday.
1. Discuss the Heroic Age of Greece (Crete/Minoan and
Mycenaean civilization). When did this occur and what were

6. the accomplishments of these civilizations. How does Homer
and his epics relate to these? What happened to cause these
societies to collapse (the Dark Ages)? Explain.
2. What is the polis and why is it so important for the
development of classical Greek society and its politics? How
did the polis and the requirements of citizenship affect political
culture? Why is this period (roughly 800-336 B.C. (BCE))
called the Hellenic Age? Explain.
3. What are the Greek-Persian Wars and what importance do
they have for both societies? Explain, providing examples.
Compare Sparta and Athens. What roles do these states have in
the conflict? Why does the Peloponnesian War occur and why
does the Hellenic era close with Philip and Alexander’s
conquest of the Greek poleis and Persia in the 330s and B.C.
(BCE)? Provide details.
4. Compare and contrast family and domestic life in the Greek
states and in the Roman Republic and Empire. What roles did
men and women have? What was the status of slaves? Explain
these. What role did religion play in both societies? Discuss
traditional and new religions of salvation that appeared.
5. Discuss the development of rational philosophy in Greece
and Roman law. Discuss individuals and schools of thought.
How did the Greco-Roman (Hellenistic) world influence
philosophy, science, literature, and other liberal arts? Explain.
6. Discuss the establishment and growth of Rome. What type
of political organization and order developed in Rome from 753
to 27 B.C. (BCE)? Discuss the role of the Senate and People
and the impact of military victories over time. What roles do
the accumulation of wealth, land, and slaves have in the civil
wars of the 1st century B.C. (BCE)? Why does Rome last so
long? Discuss.
7. What are the causes of the development of the great trading
routes or silk roads in the ancient world? How does the
establishment of imperial states facilitate commerce and trade?
Who and what is involved? Why is it said the Mediterranean is
a cosmopolitan place during the classical period? Could the

7. same be said of the Indian Ocean and other areas? Why or why
not? Explain.
8. Discuss the development and expansion of religion in the
classical period. Compare and contrast the attraction of the
salvation religions and why they have global importance during
the classical period. Does trade and imperial growth assist the
growth of religion? Explain
9. How does the development of international networks and
trading systems affect the exchange of disease in the ancient
world? What diseases are involved and how do these affect the
societies of we have studied? Explain, citing examples. Was
the collapse in part or in whole of imperial systems a result of
disease? Why or why not? Discuss.
10. After answering one of the questions above, are there any
other issues or questions you would like to your colleagues to
consider. Please post here and discuss.
