C102 This class meets every Tuesday and Thursday from 1:00PM-2:15PM
This course is an examination and evaluation of the ancient Romans
based on their traditions and way of life and on their intellectual
and artistic achievements. Our approach will be both chronological
and topical, emphasizing the archaeological remains. This is a
lecture-format course, and it will generously draw on slide
illustrations of the remains and archaeology of ancient Rome.
There will be four multiple-choice examinations, each of which will
count one-fourth of the course grade. Some questions will be based
on slide identifications. The fourth examination will be given
during the final examination period, but will not be a comprehensive
final.
