Description

This course will cover major developments and achievements in the Byzantine Empire – from Constantine the Great to the decline and fall – and Rus’, or Russia, during the Kievan, Appanage (Mongol), and Muscovite periods, and the relationship and interaction of the two with other major states and civilizations of the time. In the process, students will gain insight into political, cultural, and religious dynamics in Medieval Europe and consider their implications for Byzantium and Russia.
