The Roman Empire has been of essential importance to western civilization and not least to the development of England/Britain/the U.K. From the 1st century B.C. to the 5th century A.D. England was occupied by the Romans who transformed the land according to the principles and organization of their Roman culture. Why did they leave? The centuries following the departure of the Romans have been called ‘The Dark Ages.’ But were they really? Currently Europe is undergoing profound structural changes evident in the British decision to leave the European Union and in the migration of peoples. In this program we will investigate the British Roman past and its remnants in modern England.
We will spend a week at the University of Liverpool with lectures and excursions to Hadrian’s Wall and York among other places. We’ll spend two days in the ancient town of Shrewsbury and four days in London. Join us for this comprehensive experience of England with plenty of time to shop and explore on your own. Get to know exciting Liverpool and the wonderful English countryside! Earn 3 credits of Honors 380 or 370!
