Title: Pompeii: Life in a Roman City
Course Section Number: CLA-112G-01
Department: Classics
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 This seminar-style course concentrates on the primary evidence of graffiti, historical documents, wall paintings, artifacts, and other archaeological remains from the world's most famous archaeological site - together with its lesser-known cousin,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: entertainment, politics, commerce, deviance, housing, religion, slavery, leisure, industry, commerce, and many more.
