Description:

This course examines the physical remains of ancient Roman civilization, with an emphasis on architecture, sculpture, painting, and other visual arts, in order to understand Roman culture and society. Covering a span of time from the ninth century BC through the fifth century AD, we will first look at the Etruscan background to Roman civilization; we will then trace the development of art and architecture in the city of Rome, with a particular emphasis on the monuments in the city during the period in which Rome was the capital of a vast empire. Along the way, we will also examine evidence from other sites around the Roman Empire, such as Ostia, Pompeii, and Constantinople.
