Effective Start Date: 02/26/2020
This class will study the representation of Rome on both the big & small screen from the early days until now. Readings from classical sources, from film theory, & from the historical novels that inspired some of the films. We’ll be asking how these imagined Romes relate to historical reality, how they engage in dialogue with one another, & how they function as a mirror for the concerns & anxieties of our own society.

Requisites: Students can’t enroll if previously taken CLAS 3559 topic #20 Ancient Rome at the Movies
