Buried by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD and rediscovered in the mid-18th century, the once ordinary city of Pompeii is now an extraordinary laboratory for the study of ancient Roman life. This seminar surveys the art, architecture, and material remains of Pompeii and other cities destroyed by the eruption. Through readings, class discussions, and student research presentations, we will explore the ways in which this material can be used to study the political, social, and commercial life of a small Roman city and examine the unique evidence for reconstructing the private lives of Roman citizens.
This course fulfills the Archaeology and Archaeology Science track of the Classical Studies major. |
