Welcome to the thirteenth lecture!
This lecture is about Rome.
This lecture contextualizes the rise of the Roman Empire and compares Bibracte, France, a leading city of the Gauls in France with the city of Rome. It focuses on the unique set of elements - spatial, ceremonial and social - that were part of the founding of that city.

This lecture is divided into seven units. Most units have a lecture video, followed by multiple choice or dropdown questions. These questions will test what you have just learned; you have one attempt to complete each, and can view the correct answer after submitting a response. You must complete these questions before 14:00 (UTC) November 5, 2013 to receive credit.
At the end of each lecture is a directed discussion with other members of your course. Discussion of other topics can be addressed in the forum, accessible by clicking "Discussion" in the menu at the top of this page.
The time to complete this lecture (watching all videos, answering the review questions, and participating in directed discussion) is approximately two hours.
