ARH 340 - POMPEII&RAVENNA ROMAN EMPIRE

Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Art History

Description:

The course will investigate the art and culture of two of the ancient provincial Roman cities, Pompeii and Ravenna. Each of these sites is exceptionally rich in preserved remains and thus, each one offers a lens through which students will consider art and life at the beginning and end of the Roman Empire, respectively. Throughout the course, comparison and reference will be made first to Rome then to Constantinople, in order to consider artistic and cultural developments as they relate to trends seen in and emanating from the capital city. Emphasis will be placed on wall paintings, mosaics, and the arts, social rituals and material culture of urban daily life in the Roman Empire.
