Hi all,
Attached is a flyer for Prof. Robert Darby's course on Roman Art that will be offered next semester, which you may have seen. Here is the course description:
Roman art was the “modern art” of the ancient world. Emerging out of earlier rich artistic traditions of the Etruscans, Classical Greece, and the Hellenistic kingdoms, the Romans and their expansive empire gave rise to a new cosmopolitan visual language of form and space. It is characterized by remarkable shifts in style, from Republican realism, Imperial idealism, to the expressionistic minimalism of Late Antiquity. These new and ever changing artistic modes and media, whether at work in the hands of the Roman state as political propaganda, the domestic sphere by the individual, or the vastly diverse religious communities of its populace, would ultimately remain as the greatest and most lasting of its achievements passing from Medieval, Renaissance, and Romanesque art to that of the modern world.
We don't have an area requirement in the major for Ancient World (because we haven't had anyone teaching in hat area until recently), but you can use this as an elective class for the major or mino.

Hi Robert,
Do you think you could create (or send me if you have ) a flyer for your Roman Art course? I'd like to try and promote it in the department.
Thanks, Suzanne
