CLASS 0618 - DEATH IN THE ANCIENT WORLD
Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
The death of a loved one is an emotional and powerful occurrence that provokes a variety of human responses. In addition to writings describing their funerary practices, the civilizations of the ancient Mediterranean region have left artistic representations of death and dying, built tombs, and objects associated with funerary rituals. The study of these texts, images, structures, and objects allows us to better understand ancient attitudes and reactions to death. This undergraduate lecture focuses on the visual and material evidence of funerary practices and beliefs in ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman societies. The subject will be approached thematically. First, we will explore how archaeologists discover death-related artifacts and how scholars approach the study and reconstruction of ancient death rituals. Ancient practices and beliefs regarding the mummification, the funeral, commemorative strategies, visits to the grave, and the afterlife will be explored, and images found on specific media (vases, sculpture, built tombs, paintings) will be discussed in depth. The course will conclude with discussions of the roles that sensational topics, like fear of the undead (zombies, vampires, and ghosts) and spectacles of death (gladiatorial contests and public executions), played in ancient Mediterranean civilizations.

CLASS 1402 - GRECO-ROMAN RELIGIONS
Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course introduces students to religious texts and traditions in a formative era of Western civilization and culture. Our focus will be on the variety of religious expression in Greco-Roman culture, which flourished in the geographical area of the Mediterranean basin during the first five centuries of the common era. By considering such topics as debates about the nature of the gods and access to them (through oracles, ritual and magic), the emergence of the idea of the holy person, and a variety of religious traditions as expressed in prayer, ritual and art, students will encounter a rich religious imagination that is truly different from contemporary understandings of religion and yet strangely familiar as well. We will also explore the complete integration between religion politics in the ancient world.

This course introduces students to the archaeologist’s task of bringing lost societies back to light through the study of their physical remains and material culture.

The course begins with an examination of the archaeology of the bronze age, and presents a survey of the archaic, classical, and Hellenistic periods, as well as a history of the archaeological discipline itself from the nineteenth century to today.

CLASS 1650 - WARFARE: ANCIENT MEDITERRANEAN
Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Since the dawn of civilization, warfare has been a constant threat to society. Although the material remains of ancient warfare survive in the archaeological record, the literary accounts of Greco-Roman authors provide us with additional evidence to reconstruct developments in, and attitudes toward, armed conflict in the ancient Mediterranean region. This undergraduate course surveys the literary and material evidence of Greco-Roman warfare. Significant battles, developments, strategies, and attitudes are presented chronologically, and special attention is paid to issues of biological and chemical warfare, votive dedications and war trophies, casualties and commemoration, civilian impact, and the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder. This class is a designated W-course, so considerable attention will be paid to developing critical reading, writing, and oral presentation skills.
