PEARL OF THE INDIAN OCEAN - ‘SRI LANKA’
AN INTRODUCTION TO ROMAN HISTORY
Pre-historic Mesolithic humans dwelt on this
island 38,000 years ago which was also the
home of the ‘great Ravana’ the mythical king
who flew in a ‘flying machine’. While Alexander
the great was building his empire, a great
civilisation based on an advanced cascade
irrigation system and Buddhist doctrine was
thriving on this island, which chronicled
continuously over 2 millennia. It was
constantly invaded by India and Colonials, but
remarkably could not be conquered entirely
until the 19th Century. What made this tiny
island so important for those powers? Take a
journey through the history of this fascinating
country and learn how the history has shaped
contemporary Sri Lanka with a rich ethnocultural mix.
Nirodha Meegahakumbura
The aim of this course is to introduce Roman
History to people who have always been
interested in it, but feel lost and don’t know
where to start. We look at the 3 periods:
Rome Under the 7 Kings; Rome Under the
Republic and Rome Under the Empire. It
examines the role played by key personalities
such as Hannibal, Spartacus, Julius Caesar
and the emperors as well as the social causes
behind the main events. Finally it analyses
the overwhelming influence Roman society
has had on our own. At the end of the course
people will then be in a position to further
their knowledge by tackling the Roman
writers and the works of modern specialists.

especially at the Indian nationalist movement,
at its foot soldiers (for example peasants,
urban workers, women and untouchables) as
well as its elite (the leaders, such as Gandhi,
Nehru and Jinnah). We will consider the
development of nationalist, socialist and

importance of these in the political conflicts
of the period. The course will also encourage
