STUDYING THE ANCIENT GREEK AND ROMAN WORLDS AT BERKELEY



The department teaches and studies the languages, cultures, histories,
philosophies, literatures, art, and material culture of the ancient Greek and
Roman worlds. It is home to exciting and welcoming undergraduate major programs
and maintains a rich and varied schedule of undergraduate courses, including a
full curriculum of ancient Greek and Latin language instruction. Its PhD
programs in Classics and Classical Archaeology are enriched every year by the
arrival of new future leaders in the study of the ancient world, and for
generations their graduates have gone on to renew or remake their fields. Itself
a teeming center of intellectual vitality on campus, the department is
affiliated with internationally important research units directed by its
faculty, including the Center for the Tebtunis Papyri, the Sara B. Aleshire
Center for Greek Epigraphy, and the Nemea Center for Classical Archaeology. The
department organizes many events of interest and hosts many visits, most notably
the storied annual Jane K. Sather Professorship of Classical Literature.
