CLAS 25409: Feeding Greece:Grain Production and Trade from the Archaic to the Hellenistic Period
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
This course addresses aspects of grain production and consumption in ancient Greece, including the organization of the market and the food crisis that resulted from inadequate agriculture techniques and poor soil quality. From Aristotle and Demosthenes to Diodorus and Cicero, we draw heavily on literary sources. Epigraphic and papyrological texts also offer a large body of evidence. Beyond the case of grain, students develop insight on a whole set of economic-as well as political, social, and religious-behaviors in the ancient Greek world . A. Bresson. Autumn.

CLAS 25509: The Greek Colonial World in the Archaic and Classical Period
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
The Aegean cities, and first of all Athens, are linked with the great achievements of ancient Greece. But in the Archaic and Classical periods, a new Greece came into being. This course shows how the new colonial world produced a constellation of brilliant cities that had an existence of their own. Based on both textual and archaeological material, we examine social, political, religious, and economic aspects of this dynamic. We cover a broad geographical field, from Spain to southern Asia Minor or Egypt and from Cyrene to the Pontos. A. Bresson. Winter.

CLAS 25700-25800-25900: Ancient Empires I,II,III
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
Taking these courses in sequence is not required. This sequence meets the general education requirement in civilization studies. Three great empires of the ancient world are introduced in this sequence. Each course focuses on a particular empire, with attention to the similarities and differences among the empires covered in this sequence. By exploring the rich legacy of documents and monuments that these empires produced, students are introduced to ways of understanding imperialism and its cultural and societal effects-both on the imperial elites and on those they conquered. Extensive use is made of visual materials, including artifacts on display in the Oriental Institute Museum. Autumn, Winter, Spring.

CLAS 26209: Roman Visual Culture in the Northwest Provinces
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
The focus of classical archaeology is on the visual culture of Rome's wealthy Mediterranean provinces. But the work of archaeologists in Britain, Gaul, and Central Europe has yielded a rich and interesting sample of Roman art in a variety of social settings. These materials reflect the interaction between local and Mediterranean culture, thereby allowing for a better contextualization of Roman visual culture. This, in turn, helps to improve our understanding of ancient art in general. E. Mayer. Spring.

CLAS 26409: Romans Outside Rome
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
This course studies the complex history of Roman settlements and emigration outside Italy over the course of the empire. We consider the various problems of demography, urban design, and cross-cultural exchange attendant upon this history; the friction that often arose in the period of conquest between Roman settlers and recently conquered peoples; and the contribution that communities of mixed background ultimately made to the creation of a cosmopolitan, imperial culture. C. Ando. Spring.
