Introduction

This page is designed to provide access to course materials that should be useful to those taking AN3033 Greece under Roman Rule. It will also provide links to sites that may be useful, including some that make available texts we shall be using throughout the course. Suggestions for other links that might be useful for this course will be gratefully received.
