CLSS - 110. The Romans

3 credit(s)
It has often been noted that the Western tradition stands upon two great pillars: the Greco-Roman and the Judeo- Christian traditions. This course will give the student a broad introduction into the culture and civilization of the Roman people and how they still influence us. Within the course students will study the broad lines of Roman history, the major literary figures and their works, the principal ideas and institutions that informed Roman society, the great achievements in art and architecture, Roman religious practice, and the ways in which the ancient Romans live on into the present day and why they still command our attention.
