Weekly readings and meetings on historical, archaeological, and literary topics designed to enhance the on-site experience culminate in a three-week trip to Rome and Pompeii during which students explore 1) three layers of ancient Rome: archaic, late republican/early imperial (the Rome of Caesar and Augustus), and the high Roman empire of the 2nd century A.D.; and 2) the daily life of the towns of imperial Rome as it appears through the archaeological remains at Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Oplontis.
