2 U N D E R G R A D U A T E C O U R S E S (Winter Semester ) Section of Ancient and Medieval History Ancient History (AIS) AIS 403 Kostas Vlassopoulos What is the history of antiquity? (Lecture course) This module constitutes a general introduction to the history of antiquity. It aims to examine how modern historians conceptualise antiquity, the various ways in which they have written its history, and the wealth of sources and questions that they have asked based on them. The module will cover the societies and cultures of the Near East and the Mediterranean between 3000 BC and 600 AD. AIS 606 Katerina Panagopoulou Poleis in the Hellenistic and Roman worlds (Lecture course) 2 This course examines the restructuring and development of the polis institution from Alexander the Great through to the Roman Imperial period, through study of the related sources (literary, archaeological, epigraphic, numismatic). Our observation of the changes occurring in one of the most important institutions in antiquity in the above-mentioned period on an administrative, financial, social and cultural level enhances the students understanding of the transition process from the Classical to the Hellenistic and Roman world. We will particularly focus on the restructuring of polis networks as a result of the rise and fall of Hellenistic kings, of Rome and of the Roman emperors respectively and on the impact that this had upon Mediterranean history.

Byzantine History (VIS) VIS 507 Tonia Kiousopoulou The state and the byzantine society during the reign of the Macedonian Dynasty (Lecture course) The topics of this lesson are the following: 1.

VIS 651 Konstantinos Moustakas Byzantium and the Ottomans (Lecture course) This lecture summarizes the developments of the last period of byzantine history in relation to the Ottoman conquest and the formation of the Ottoman empire. In the first place, we examine the broader historical context of the fall of Byzantium and the Ottoman take over (balance of power, political developments, diplomacy). Then, we proceed to examine the social and cultural aspects of the conquest of the byzantine world and its incorporation into the rising Ottoman establishment, as well as the experiences of contemporaries toward those historical developments. More specifically, the course is structured as follows: - the initial Turkish conquest of Asia Minor in the 11 th century, the settlement of Turks and the Byzantine efforts to retaking the country; - the formation of the Seljuk sultanate and its relations with Byzantium; - the fall of Seljuks, the formation of the Turkish emirates and the final fall of byzantine Asia Minor; - the theories Ottoman origins and the features of the early Ottoman state in Bithynia; - the Turkish, and especially the Ottoman involvement into the Byzantine civil wars of the mid 14 th century, the wedding of emir Orhan with Theodora Kantakouzene and its repercussions, the Ottoman capture of Gallipoli; - the development of the Ottoman state into a great power of the age, the Ottoman take over of Byzantium, Byzantium between the Ottomans and the Latins; - Byzantine policies in the years of the Ottoman interregnum; - the final fall of Byzantium; - the stance of Byzantine population toward the Ottoman conquest.

4 To attend this lecture, the students are not expected to have an especial background of knowledge in Byzantine history (apart of the basic knowledge that should be attained in secondary education), therefore beginning students are also welcome.

IMCH 328 Eleni Sakellariou Crises, Transitions, Reversals in the Late Middle Ages (Seminar) 10 ECTS In recent decades, the late Middle Ages is at the heart of a heated historical debate. Was it an era of universal and lasting crisis, or one of crisis in certain sectors, for example the demographic, and of restructuring in others, a process that led to the transition from the medieval world to that of the early modern period? The students will answer this important question through their essays, by examining the multiple aspects of this crucial historical period.
