The Department of Ancient Mediterranean and Near Eastern Studies (AMNE) offers a unique opportunity to link past, present, and future.
We critically engage with the study of the languages, literature, history, religion, law, and material culture of the lands and peoples centred around the Mediterranean and the Tigris-Euphrates river system—including Ancient Greece, Rome, Egypt, Mesopotamia, the Levant, and their neighbours—as well as the reception and representation of these cultures to the modern day.
Our diverse, interdisciplinary faculty includes world experts who teach and research on every aspect of the cultures we study, including their influence on modern religion, literature, and art. We are an interdisciplinary unit committed to furthering new and emerging methodologies and interrogating older frameworks of inquiry.
