Learning outcomes

Aim of the course is providing a general knowledge of the political, economic, social and cultural history of the civilizations of the pre-classical Ancient Near East, from the earliest phases (III millennium BCE) through the downfall of the Iron age Mesopotamian kingdoms (VI century BCE). It will also provide the critical tools required to study and analyse the documents and sources that are typical of those ages that pre-date the Greek-Roman history, by examining some specific examples that refer to highly significant periods (Late Bronze Age, Early Iron Age).

Program

The course will regard the historical and cultural development of the civilizations of the Ancient Near East. Among the main topics, the following phases will receive specific attention:

- IV-III millennium, until the Ur III dynasty
- Birth of the great kingdoms of the Late Bronze Age
- The Amarna archives and the dyplomacy in the Ancient Near East
- The collapse of the Bronze age kingdoms and the Dark age
- The Neo-Assyrian rebirth and the small kingdoms of the Iron age
- From the Late Babylonian Empire to the Persian egemony
