"History of the Classical World" is a compulsory subject in the third year of the Degree in Philology, specialty in Classical Philology. It consists of 9 credits, spread over both four-month periods. In the first four-month period the Ancient History of Greece (4,5 credits) is taught and in the second the Ancient History of Rome (4,5 credits).

The objective of the subject is to provide Classical Philology students with theoretical and practical contents. With these contents it is aimed at providing them with an adequate capacity for analysis and understanding of the main historical processes and events that delimit the different eras of the classical world, as well as introducing them to the analysis of the organizational structures that characterize Ancient Greece and Rome.

The political-administrative, socio-economic, religious and cultural contexts of both civilizations are analyzed from the birth of the "polis" and the "civitas" in archaic Greece and Rome respectively (8th and 7th centuries BC) until the integration of the Greek world in Roman rule (1st century BC) and the end of the Western Roman Empire (5th century AD).

The methodological and historical bases are provided, on which the knowledge of classical literary sources (Greco-Latin authors) is established. This knowledge is acquired by students in the subjects of the first two years of the Degree. Likewise, it is offered a first contact with other direct sources related to the ancient Roman civilization (epigraphic testimonies, numismatics and archaeological evidence).
