Description

A survey of Roman art, architecture and material culture from 753 BC to the 2nd century AD, with particular reference to objects in the James Logie Memorial Collection.

A survey of the art and architecture of the Romans from the Early Republic through the age of Constantine (roughly 753 BCE-337 CE) and examines its many social and political functions. We will trace the development of Roman feats of engineering—domes, aqueducts, and amphitheaters—as well as of Roman masterpieces in sculpture, wall painting, mosaic and other media. No previous knowledge of the Romans or their art is required, and brief historical summaries will be provided as needed.
