CLARCH 222 / HISTART 222. Introduction to Roman Archaeology. Section 001. Instructor(s): Susan E Alcock (salcock@umich.edu) Prerequisites & Distribution: (4). (HU). Credits: (4; 3 in the half-term). Course Homepage: http://www.umich.edu/~ipcaa/222/ If you have ever watched (and who hasn't!) Gladiator, Spartacus, Life of Brian, or Bugs Bunny: Roman Legion Hare – then you possess some image of Rome, the Romans, and the Roman Empire. While exploring and assessing these popular perceptions, this course introduces a more balanced view of the archaeology and art of ancient Rome. In its prime, the Roman Empire extended from modern day Britain to the modern day Middle East; its inhabitants ranged from god-like emperors to beggars and slaves. This course will not only study the developing art and architecture of this imperial world, but will also pursue a series of other questions. How was this vast and diverse empire governed? Who or what did its inhabitants worship? How did they feel about their emperor? How were they entertained? Why did the Roman Empire 'decline and fall'? Lectures will provide a broad overview of these subjects, with weekly discussion sections exploring specific topics in more detail. There are no prerequisites for the course; requirements consist of two hour exams, a final exam, and strong section participation.
