Even when there is substance to a given theory – an actual, real conspiracy – the full truth of the matter is often hard to ascertain. Ancient Rome, too, was plagued by conspiracies, both real and imagined. In this class we will read extensively about one of Rome’s most infamous conspiracies: that of Catiline in 63 BCE. The accounts of Cicero and Sallust will be read in Latin as we try to separate fact from fiction and insinuation to determine not merely what happened but also what the conspiracy was actually about. Selections in the original Latin and English translation covering other Roman conspiracies about the suspicious death of Romulus, the spread of insidious religious rites, and various plots to assassinate emperors will add depth to our understanding, as will recent work on the significance of conspiracies and conspiracy theories in American culture. This section is for Grad students. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
