Description

This course explores the tremendous architectural and engineering achievements of the Romans from the 2nd century BC - 4th century AD. The course will focus on a variety of architectural buildings, forms, techniques and materials, and will also examine some of the cultural and historical factors underlying the Romans' success as architects. This course is suitable for Civil Engineering students as well as Arts students.

We will look at how the built environment provided the infrastructure to support the Romans’ empire, and how many of the basic principles of Roman architecture live on today in modern cities, in Europe and in former European colonies.

This course can also be taken as an Honours course (CLAS422).
