Subject Description | This intensive subject examines ancient Greek and Roman societies and cities in Greece, Italy and Turkey. We will be based at three locations: Athens, with day trips to Delphi and the Sounion peninsular; the Hellenistic cities on the west coast of Turkey: Priene, Ephesus, and Aphrodisias; and Rome, with a day trip to Ostia. Visits to sites and museums will be based around issues that contribute to a concept of the physical, economic, political and cultural evolution of ancient cities, and social life in these cities. Students should develop a familiarity with themes such as the origins of cities; the city as a physical site; the city as seat of rank, authority and power; the economy and the marketplace; religion and myth; the individual in society; citizenship, the family, the individual and the state; work, sport, leisure and entertainment; gender and sexuality. |
