This course will follow the last century of the Roman Republic. It will tell the epic story of one of the most defining periods in human history that ushered in the Roman Empire. The course will start with the Gracchi brothers and end with Augustus' ascendancy to Rome's first Emperor.

This course will cover the history leading up to, during, and after the 2007/2008 Financial Crisis. The course will delve into unconventional areas that are extremely important to understanding Wall Street and its role in the Financial Crisis. Rest assured, the course will cover the more recent, polarized history (such as the falls of Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers). And, finally, the course will assess our present situation--analyzing what we have done (if anything) to prevent a future financial calamity.

This course will give a brief introduction to investing in the stock market. We will cover how to analyze stocks and specific companies. It will not be overly complicated but will require an interest in making money. I am a huge fan of Warren Buffett's, and the course will mainly be derived from his unique investing philosophy. This is not academic finance. This is the real world stuff.

The course will delve into unconventional areas that are extremely important to understanding Wall Street and its role in the Financial Crisis (like the fall of Salomon Brothers and the demise of John Meriwether's Long-Term Capital Management in the late '90s).

And, finally, the course will assess our present situation--analyzing what we have done (if anything) to prevent a future financial calamity. There will be a small portion about investing and finance, but it will employ very simple explanations so the history makes more sense.

This course will follow a wide variety of Ancient Roman individuals that shaped world history with their swords, philosophy, or mentally unhinged demeanor. The course will chronologically catalogue some of Rome's most influential (and insane) leaders. It will be a humorous and exciting journey that will display numerous studs and lunatics... and a few boring philosophers. The course will teach students: A) to be really awesome B) a bit of fun and interesting history C) how not to act when in control of the entire Mediterranean world.
