ARTH/CLAR 342: Roman Art and Archaeology

5 credits

Spring 2025

Description

This class explores the art, architecture, and archaeology of the ancient Romans and those living under Roman colonization from the 8th century BCE to the 4th century CE. From monuments created by women and enslaved individuals, to the public structures of the city of Rome (such as the Colosseum and the Pantheon), to the local art that persisted in Roman-occupied Britain, Egypt, Libya, Spain, and Syria, this class pays particular attention to how identities were created through art and architecture.
