Italy - CLA 382: Roman Archaeology
Professor Gruber-Miller - Block II
Come to Italy and study the art and archaeology of the ancient Romans in order to understand
their history and civilization--economy, government, religion, family life, slavery, urbanization-from the monarchy to the republic to the empire. Taught in Italy, the class will spend two thirds of
the course in Rome and its environs and the third week in the Bay of Naples region. Sites visited
will include the Roman forum, the heart of ancient Rome, the Colosseum, the Pantheon, and the
Circus Maximus; temples, theaters, markets, imperial palaces; early Christian churches and catacombs; Ostia, Rome's port; cemeteries of the ancient Etruscans; the Greek city of Paestum; and of
course, Pompeii and Herculaneum, cities covered by the eruption of Mt Vesuvius.
