CARS 2020 - Roman Archaeology
Rome’s material culture and artistic styles were shaped at first by other regions within Italy, and then through conquest of the Greek and Eastern kingdoms. This course explores material remains from the Roman world and the information they provide about Roman society at different periods in time. We examine sculpture, painting, coinage, and architecture to learn how Romans at different periods and various levels of society used objects, images, and built structures to make statements about themselves and others.
