520    From the late stages of the Agricultural Revolution to the
       doorstep of the Scientific Revolution, this course covers 
       western history from roughly 3000 B.C. to A.D. 1600, when 
       the "foundations" of the modern West come into view.  
       Beginning in the ancient Near East, moving to Greece and 
       Rome, the course explores the shape and impact of large 
       ancient empires, including those of Persia and Alexander 
       the Great.  It then considers Western Europe as it expands
       physically and culturally, and initiates the globalization
       of Western civilization with the Portuguese and Spanish 
       voyages of exploration and discovery.
