Course overview
Course description
This intermediate course will look at the enduring survival of the Roman Empire and how it withstood both external threats and internal crises.
On this course, we will identify at least two reasons for the survival of the Roman state in the 7th century. We will also investigate and individually summarise key features of the siege of Constantinople 674 - 678AD. We will also investigate the reign of Konstantine IV and learners will provide at least 2 features of this reign. Furthermore, we will investigate the main strategy of the Umayyad Caliphate against the Roman state and identify at least 2 key features of that strategy.
The learning, delivered by an experienced tutor, will be online in a friendly learning environment. There will be an opportunity to progress onto to the advanced course in the summer term. This course will cover set learning outcomes which will enable learners to chart their progress and knowledge as the course unfolds.
