CLAS 125 PZ - Ancient Spectacle: Glory, Games and Gore in Ancient Greece and Rome
Spectacles offered ancient Greeks and Romans countless opportunities to define and present themselves to others—as individuals, as communities, even as kings and emperors. Using archaeological and literary evidence, this course will explore topics such as ancient theater and other types of performance, parades and triumphs, athletic competitions, gladiatorial contexts and wild beast games, mock battles, and even public protests. We will also look at domestic spectacles, from pleasure boats and county houses to fantastic dinner parties.
Instructor: M. Berenfeld
Course Credit: 1.0
