DESCRIPTION
This survey course focuses on the art and archaeology of the Mediterranean world, roughly between 2500 BC ? AD 300. The course investigates the material culture of the diverse cultural groups that shaped this interconnected world: Sumerians, Assyrians, Minoans/Mycenaeans, Egyptians, Greeks, Etruscans, Persians, Italics and Romans. Special attention will be given to the dynamic relationships of inspiration between these cultures. The aim is for a firm contextual understanding of the works examined, and of the cultural, political, and historical aspects that shaped these.
