Ancient History

Course summary

A Level Ancient History lets you dive into the drama of Greece and Rome. You’ll study epic events like the Persian and Peloponnesian Wars, discover what made Sparta a fearsome warrior society, and explore the rise of Rome’s first emperors. We then turn to Roman Britain to see how the Romans conquered, ruled, and faced fierce resistance like Boudica’s revolt. Along the way, you’ll analyse real ancient sources and sharpen your skills in debate, argument, and critical thinking.
