Course objectives
The end of Roman civilisation represents a model example of a civilisation in crisis. The fundamental characteristics of life in the twilight of the Roman Empire will be discussed, which is to some degree analogous to the contemporary global crisis (state of the economy, the decline of civic society, a deepening gap between rich and poor, the relationship of the state towards poor and rich, consumer lifestyle, the crisis of traditional religion, new religious trends and new life values, cosmopolitanism and xenophobia, clashes and mutual influence of different cultures). Attention will also be paid to proposals for solutions for the present situation. We shall read and discuss various accounts of classical authors in seminars and several thematic video programmes will be shown.
