Title: Pompeii: Life in a Roman City
Course Section Number: HIS-210-01
Department: History
Description: Destroyed and thus also preserved by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE, Pompeii offers an extremely rich document of Roman life. This course concentrates on the primary evidence of graffiti, inscriptions, historical documents, artifacts, and other archaeological remains from the world's most famous archaeological site - together with its lesser-known cousin, Herculaneum - to shed light on Roman culture and society. We will explore the experience of everyday Romans across a number of realms: gender, entertainment, politics, identity, commerce, power, deviance, housing, religion, slavery, leisure, industry, commerce, and many more. In addition to discussion, quizzes, a series of very short papers, and two exams form the backbone of the course. HIS-210-01=CLA-112-01
