IDS 243 CULTURE OF ANCIENT ROME
This course will examine first the culture of the Etruscans, the Italian civilization that had a great influence on Roman culture. We will next turn to Rome itself, looking at the development of the city from its founding to its decline in the fourth century CE. The picture of Roman life will be augmented by studying Pompeii, buried and preserved by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE.
