Through an examination of the surviving artworks (frescos, sculpture, objects d'art, and architecture), and through the reading of primary sources, students will explore the daily life of ancient Pompeii including its economy, religious practices, entertainment, urban development, politics, and relationship with Rome. A two-day field trip to Pompeii, the neighboring town of Herculaneum, and the Archaeological Museum of Naples concludes the course.
