This seminar-style course introduces students to the ecology of the ancient Mediterranean basin
and to the high degree of mobility that was the human response to that ecology. Against this background we will develop an understanding of the Mediterranean Sea itself as a conduit for trade and human interactions. Moving both chronologically and geographically, we will explore the interactions between the various populations that lived, in Plato’s words, “like frogs around a pond.” We will consider the contexts and motivations for those interactions (trade, resources, religion, exploration) and the results of them (cultural, religious, economic, political).
