Ancient history is the study of the written past from the beginning of recorded human history in the Old World until the Early Middle Ages in Europe. The span of recorded history altogether is roughly 5,000 years, with Cuneiform script emerging from the protoliterate period around the 30th century BC being the oldest form of writing discovered so far. This is the beginning of history, as opposed to prehistory, according to the definition used by most historians. The term classical antiquity is often used to refer to ancient history since the beginning of recorded Greek history in about 776 BC (First Olympiad). This coincides, roughly, with the traditional date of the founding of Rome in 753 BC, the beginning of the history of ancient Rome. Although the ending date of ancient history is disputed, Western scholars use the fall of the Western Roman Empire in AD 476, or the death of the emperor Justinian I, or the coming of Islam and the rise of Charlemagne as the end of ancient European history. In India, the period includes the period of the Middle Kingdoms, and in China the time up to the Qin Dynasty. From Wikipedia under the

This is probably a question that is better off asked of a careers teacher/advisor. I'm guessing that you are at uni or recently graduated? I wouldn't see any problem in transferring, the essentials of teaching are the same and the process of understanding history doesn't magically alter because you go from studying the Punic Wars to the Napoleonic wars. Bear in mind though that at interviews this is a glaring question that will crop up - if you are expected to teach a syllabus focusing on the rise of Adolf Hitler and your knowledge and studies stop at the rise of Julius Caesar that you might have problems, especially if other candidates have studied the latter era. My advice is to get hold of the syllabus for whatever era you want to… [cont.] Answered by Jay - Sun Nov 22 07:09:45 2009 Do they teach Ancient History and Latin in secondary schools in the UK? Q.
