The focus of the unit is to analyze the archaeological material of the Roman Empire, and to also examine the regional variations that epitomized cultural progression and acculturation throughout the Mediterranean throughout the period in question. The unit will examine closely the ancient archaeological sources for the Roman period from the 2nd century BCE to the 4th century CE: architectural, numismatic, epigraphic and sculptural, in an attempt to provide the students with the most comprehensive understanding of Roman material culture. The focus will be on what has been discovered and how it can be analyzed and interpreted. -- Course Website
