Institution:

University of Southern Maine

Subject:

Description:

This course will explore ancient Roman relations concerning human biology, sexuality, and morality; the structure and definition of "family"; the genderconsciousoperation of the extended household (including slaves and free clients); and the relationship of the family to the Roman state. The primary focus is the Roman imperial period, ca. 100 B.C.E. to 300 C.E. Because this same period witnessed the origins of Christianity within the Roman Empire, the course also is concerned with Christian variations to these same issues. Cr 3.
