Experiencing Rome: Approaches to an Ancient City [PDF] (Photos)
This short-term study abroad program is for students registered in Classics 656 (Experiencing Rome: Approaches to an Ancient City) that will be offered by the Department of Greek and Latin in the Winter Quarter. During the Winter quarter the course will explore the interaction between ancient written accounts of the topography of Rome and the material evidence, and how ancient experiences compare and contrast with our present day encounters with the city. Within this methodology we will examine the typologies and topographical relationships of structures and spaces in Ancient Rome, from early Republic to the Christian period. We will examine the distribution patterns of public monuments and urban topographical narratives via the interrelation of literary and archeological evidence. We will combine a historical survey of the development of various functions of urban spaces, such as the Roman Forum, with a psychogeographical focus on pedestrian movement through the interconnected districts of Rome, including the unique figure of the Roman triumph.
