Description: Rome’s rise entailed the conquest and absorption of countless indigenous populations. In the heterogeneous landscape of Late Republican and Early Imperial Italy, is it possible to distinguish a “Roman” visual culture? This course traces the spread of Roman power from the 5th century BCE to the 1st century CE, asking how colonization, cross-cultural interaction, and aristocratic competition shaped what we now call “Roman” art and architecture.
