Postgraduate Research in Classics and Ancient History
The University of Sydney has a proud tradition of classics and ancient history dating back to the earliest years of the institution. Postgraduate students explore the Greek and Roman roots of Western civilisation and obtain a better understanding of our contemporary world.
Academic staff have a diversity of research interests including Greek cultural history; Greek rhetoric and law; Greek tragedy and society; Greek democracy; Greek religion; Roman imperial history; the Roman Republic; Latin literature of the Republican and Imperial periods; magic; the Classical tradition.
