You will also learn more about the legacy of Roman culture in the modern world. You will read ancient Roman literature and examine material culture to better understand Roman hierarchies of power, based around class, slavery, gender roles and entertainment, such as arena spectacles. While we focus on the city of Rome, you will also study Pompeii, and consider Rome's history of military conquest in building a vast empire. Central to this subject is looking forward to the way in which Rome is now depicted in art and on screen in television and movies, including HBO's series Rome, Russell Crowe in Gladiator, and Doctor Who: Fires of Pompeii. Through studying these modern texts alongside ancient sources you will be introduced to the discipline of Classical Reception Studies. This is a level 2 subject. Please consider the subject pre-requisites before enrolling. This subject includes live sessions with the expectation of student attendance and participation.
