CLAS 352 - Selfies: Self Representation in the Ancient World


Semester Offered: Second Semester
Full Course
Credits: 4 credits
Attribute: 4HU, CD, WADV

How do you present yourself to the world, and why? This course looks at the ways in which individuals intentionally represented themselves to their communities in Greek and Roman society, and the social, religious, civic, ethnic, and political identities they sought to publically communicate. The primary evidence examined is both written (in the form of autobiographical works read in translation) and visual (both art historical and archaeological evidence, including sculpture, coinage, epigraphy, architecture, and painting). The chronological focus spans both the Greek and Roman periods, from the Bronze Age to Late Antiquity, and a basic background in ancient history is required.
