    Description
    This course is designed for Older Adults to examine the origins of the Roman Republic and its transition to an Empire under Augustus, considering such topics as law, engineering, military tactics, political institutions, literature, religion and philosophy, and visual culture. These will be studied in order to draw universal observations that will enable Older Adults to understand constructions of family, community, and historical global issues as they relate to their lives.
