CLST 728 - Roman Architecture & Topography

Institution:

University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

Haselberger. An intensive exploration of Rome's urban topography during the Late Republican and Imperial periods. Using primarily monumental and archaeological sources, and also including ancient texts, the goal will be to visually reconstruct a limited area of one's choice. The nearly completed Lexicon Topographicum Urbis Romae (4 volumes, so far) serves as the basic reference work. We will also receive first-hand information on methods and progress of the current publication project Mapping Augustan Rome, as it is developing in cooperation with the Corinth Computer Lab under Dr. David Romano, University Museum. - Of interest for students of art history, architecture, archaeology, and Classics. Knowledge of Latin and some familiarity with Rome will be a plus, but are not required.
