The Mycenaeans: Warriors of the Bronze Age Course/Class June 15, 2012

This course examines the Late Bronze Age civilization of mainland Greece, generally known as the Mycenaean culture. From 1600 to 1180 BC the region was dominated by a rich society centred on fortified palace compounds such as Mycenae and Tiryns. Rulers were buried in enormous tholos tombs with superb burial goods such as the famous Mask of Agamemnon. A warrior society, the Mycenaeans would expand their influence around the Aegean by conquest and trade before their society suddenly collapsed around 1180 BC.
