| Experience 'the grandeur of Rome' through its architecture, sculpture, and wall painting. Course topics include the town of Pompeii, buried alive by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius and miraculously preserved; Rome's huge public bath complexes, the health clubs of the ancient world; luxurious private houses like the Villa of the Mysteries, whose painted walls reveal details of secret initiation ceremonies into the cult of the wine god Dionysus; the Colosseum, where gladiators and wild beasts fought to the death; and Roman imperial portraits and state reliefs, whose style and content were cleverly manipulated by the imperial propaganda machine to insure the continuing popularity of the reigning emperor. This course is a survey of Roman art and architecture in their historical and cultural context, from pre-Roman civilizations in Italy (the Villanovans, Etruscans, and western Greeks), through the reign of the Roman Emperor Constantine in the early 4th c CE. 3 credit hours, no prerequisites.

| This seminar is a deep exploration of literary moments of upheaval in the literature of Mediterranean antiquity. Whether it was that of an individual character or of a larger community, stories of change, sometimes even radical transformation, reflected the concerns, fears, ambitions, and hopes of the author(s) who wrote and the audiences that heard or read them. We will explore a curated series of diverse literary texts from the Greek, Jewish, Roman, Christian, and Islamic traditions, and learn about their historical, cultural, and material contexts in order to understand how they might have been revolutionary in the era in which they were produced. The course will center on student-led discussions and presentations, culminating in a final research project. Course Information: May be repeated to a maximum of 6 hours. Recommended background: Grade of B or better in CL 104. | ||||||||
