Description:
This four-week, one-course program examines the history of the Roman city, especially the city of Rome, from the earliest times to the present day. Rome is prominent as one of the supreme centers of urban culture in the western world, and in this course students experience the history of the city directly and personally through walking lectures and guided tours of major sites, monuments, and museums. Visits to other ancient sites in Italy, including Tivoli, Pompeii, Capri, and Cerveteri, help convey the contributions of Latin, Greek, and Etruscan cultures to the development of Rome.
Highlights:
CLST 145/ARTHIST 126A/HISTORY 101F Rome: History of the City is taught by Professor Mary T. Boatwright (Classical Studies; adjunct, History). Accommodations are in a villa, then a hotel at the Bay of Naples; during the last 19 days in Rome students and faculty stay at a college. Italian is not required, but there are daily field trips to archaeological sites, museums, public spaces, and/or churches, so some knowledge of Italian is helpful.
