ARTH-262 Greece, Rome, and the Mediterranean

Traditionally we have studied ancient Greece and Rome in isolation from the surrounding world, as places that shaped the beginnings of "western" civilization. This course takes a broader view. We shall explore the ancient Mediterranean as a place of dynamic interaction from the Levant though Egypt, North Africa, Greece, Italy, and the islands in between. Far from standing in isolation, the arts of ancient Greece and Rome participated in these transnational cultural networks.
