Alexander in Asia

Service Description

Alexander in Asia: The Hellenistic East beyond the Mediterranean Alexander's conquests transformed the ancient world, but what happened after the armies moved on? This course explores the Hellenistic kingdoms of Western and Central Asia through archaeology, art, and material culture, examining how Greek, Iranian, and local traditions interacted to create new societies from Mesopotamia to Afghanistan. Moving beyond the familiar story of military conquest, students will discover the everyday lives, cities, religions, and identities that emerged in one of history's most dynamic cultural frontiers.
