1 Journey to Rome: Approaching and Exploring the Eternal City Journey to Rome: Approaching and Exploring the Eternal City (INDS 214, January 2019) Munich‐Verona‐Rome Rome Pompeii SYLLABUS Instructors: Associate Professors Markus Dubischar (Classics) and Nestor Gil (Art) Course Description The breadth and depth of Rome's historic and cultural legacy are matched by few other cities in the world. This course will be a double journey in time. Naturally, we will explore the city of Rome itself, considerably (but not exclusively!) focusing on classical antiquity. In addition, we will attempt to recreate the experience of traveling to the Eternal City as an educational and transformational experience sought by noblemen, intellectuals, and artists in the 18th and 19th centuries. The reports of four famous Rome travelers (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, and Henry James) will add depth and reflection to our own journeys and explorations. This course consists of three main parts: (1) the approach to Rome, literally and metaphorically, following Goethe's path via Munich, Innsbruck‐Brenner, and Verona; (2) explorations in Rome, combining classroom sessions and extensive archeological, cultural, and art‐historical excursions; (3) a visit to the Naples area with two of the best‐excavated sites of Roman antiquity, the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, destroyed – but paradoxically also preserved – by an eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD. Learning Outcomes In this course, students will gain critical historical understanding of Rome as a cultural and political center through the ages, as well as of "Rome" as an idealized city of the imagination. By the end of this course, students will be able to: 1. Identify the major historical, cultural, and in particular art historical developments over ancient Rome's four main periods (Kings, Republic, Empire, Late Antiquity). 2. Identify the major historical, cultural, and in particular art historical developments in Italy of the mediaeval period, the renaissance, the baroque age, and nationalism, and modernity. 3. Contrast travel practices in the 18th and 19th centuries with traveling in today's globalized world; explain how traveling as a social practice is conditioned by contemporary intellectual, economic, and technological factors. 4. Assess how our image of ancient Rome is indebted especially to the Renaissance and European Romanticism. 5. Demonstrate the close relationships between texts and their contexts by relating classical texts both to Rome's sites that informed them and to art works that were informed by them. 1 Itinerary and Course Topics NEWARK LIBERTY AIRPORT Monday, January 7 5:15pm – Group meets at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) For flight times, see “Flight and Hotel Information” on Moodle MUNICH (AND SURROUNDINGS): Greco‐Roman Antiquity North of the Alps Tuesday, January 8 Orientation Late morning – Arrive at Franz Joseph Straus International Airport Munich; bus to hotel Afternoon – Walking tour of Munich Wednesday, January 9 Munich: Ancient and Modern Morning – Tour of Glyptothek Afternoon – Dachau concentration camp or BMW Museum (each student's choice) Thursday, January 10 Regensburg (Castra Regina): on the Northern Border of the Roman Empire Morning – Departure by train from Munich During the day – City of Regensburg: Roman remains, history museum, old town Late afternoon – Departure back to Munich Evening – Group dinner in the Augustinerkeller MUNICH to VERONA: Following a Centuries‐Old Travel Route across the Alps Friday, January 11 Travel Day Morning – Depart Munich Hauptbahnhof by train; via Innsbruck‐Brenner Afternoon – Arrive at Verona, Porta Nuova Station VERONA: A Roman Urban Center in Northern Italy Friday, January 11 (cont'd) Orientation in Verona Late afternoon – Walking tour of Verona 2 Evening – Group Dinner at Osteria Verona Antica Saturday, January 12 Verona: From Rome to Romeo Morning – Tour of Verona's arena and other Roman sites Afternoon – Tour of Verona’s churches and Juliette’s House ROME: The "Eternal City" Sunday, January 13 Travel Day (by bus) and Orientation in Rome Morning – Depart from Verona Coffee break in Modena Afternoon – Arrive in Rome Late afternoon/early evening – Walking tour of hotel vicinity to Trinità dei Monti Monday, January 14 Ancient Rome I: The Rise of Rome Morning – Class Later morning – Palatine Hill Afternoon – Forum Romanum Evening – Group dinner at Taverna dei Quaranta Tuesday, January 15 Ancient Rome II: Cult and Representation Morning – Class Later morning – Capitoline Hill with Capitoline Musuem, Imperial Fora Afternoon – Stadium of Domitian (= today Piazza Navona) and Pantheon; along the way: San Luigi dei Francesi, Santa Maria sopra Minerva Wednesday, January 16 Ancient Rome III: Imperial Megalomania Free Morning Noon – Colosseum Afternoon – Circus Maximus, Baths of Caracalla Thursday, January 17 Where Average Romans Lived: The Port City of Ostia Morning – Class Later morning – Excursion to Ostia Free afternoon after return from Ostia 3 Friday, January 18 The Christian Transformation: Late Antiquity and the Medieval Ages Morning – Class Later morning – Case Romane Afternoon – San Clemente; optional: St. John Lateran, Porta Maggiore (with ancient city wall and aqueducts) Saturday, January 19 Catholic Power, Splendor, and Spirituality: the Vatican Morning – Class Noon (until closing) – St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican Museums Sunday, January 20 Modern Rome Free morning and early afternoon Mid afternoon – Meet at Spanish Steps, walk through Villa Borghese Gardens Late afternoon – Galleria Borghese NAPLES/POMPEII: Under the Shadow of Mt.

Active Participation Students will arrive on time and prepared for class sessions and excursions; keep up and stay with the group on our tours; contribute to discussions in class and on excursions; ask questions about what they don't understand, whether it concerns ancient Rome or modern Italy; listen carefully to others and treat everyone with respect; gain as much intellectual benefit and life experience as possible from every situation; and contribute positively to the experiences of the other members of our group. Failure to comply with any of the above will count severely against the participation score. 5 Preparatory reading: Hughes, Rome Reading Questions Toward the end of the fall semester 2018, students will receive a set of reading questions covering the first four chapters (pp. 3‐164) of R. Hughes, Rome: A Cultural, Visual, and Personal History. Prior to departure, students must read these chapters and submit their written answers electronically on Moodle by Saturday, Jan 6, 2019, 11:59pm. Daily Assignments To enhance deep learning while abroad, many days will see assignments in the form of readings, discussions, and on‐site tours. As the character of our journey changes, depending on where we are, so will the nature of these assignments. There is, however, one standing assignment: to keep a written daily travel journal (see below). Daily Travel Journal Like many travelers to Italy in past centuries, the course participants will keep a personal daily travel journal in a sturdy, bound notebook. Its contents should be rich in factual information – derived from our excursions, readings, and classroom sessions – and mature in reflections about ancient Roman and Italian history, culture, and society. To respect privacy, the instructors will not read the students' journals. But the instructors will check that the journals are well‐kept and current. The journals

    138 VESPASIAN. AD 68, though not a particularly constructive year for Nero, was to prove fertile ground for senators lion the make". Not that they were to have the time to build anything much other than to carve out a niche for themselves in the annals of history. It was not until the dust finally settled, leaving Vespasian as the last contender standing, that any major building projects were to be initiated under Imperial auspices. However, that does not mean that there is nothing in this period that is of interest to this study. Though Galba, Otho and Vitellius may have had little opportunity to indulge in any significant building activity, and probably given the length and nature of their reigns even less opportunity to consider the possibility of building for their future glory, they did however at the very least use the existing imperial buildings to their own ends, in their own ways continuing what were by now the deeply rooted traditions of the principate. Galba installed himself in what Suetonius terms the palatium (Suet. Galba. 18), which may not necessarily have been the Golden House of Nero, but was part at least of the by now agglomerated sprawl of Imperial residences in Rome that stretched from the summit of the Palatine hill across the valley where now stands the Colosseum to the slopes of the Oppian, and included the Golden House. Vitellius too is said to have used the palatium as his base in Rome (Suet. Vito 16), 139 and is shown by Suetonius to have actively allied himself with Nero's obviously still popular memory (Suet.

  • The Identity and Spectacle of Sport As a Modern Piazza
    The Identity and Spectacle of Sport as a Modern Piazza A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Architecture in the department of Architecture of the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning by Mackenzie M Grause Bachelor of Science in Architecture University of Cincinnati May 2015 Committee Chair: M. McInturf, M.Arch. Committee Member: A. Kanekar, Ph.D. Abstract Sports have always been and always will be a significant part of our every day lives. This thesis contends that in order to continue to serve the community and cities in which the stadia are located, they must be designed as a modern day piazza. Historically, the Mesoamerican civilizations as well as the Ancient Greeks and Romans, treated their athletic facilities and buildings with such significance that they placed these facilities in the city center. This thesis argues that today these sporting facilities also serve the community the same way the Italian piazza serves communities. Major stadium facilities such as Detroit’s new professional hockey and basketball arena, the proposal for AC Milan’s soccer stadium, and the London Olympic stadium, all represent a sporting venue that effectively engages the community. They also serve as a polyfunctional spaces that can be used by many different clients at varying times. In doing so, these stadia have the ability to transform and completely rejuvenate areas of cities. This thesis contends that past, present, and future stadia are all examples of a piazza through their symbolic nature, social function, focal point of the community, and center of daily life.

Although it makes a dramatic story that would parallel the composition of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Requiem, it is not true that Schubert was working on this symphony up to the moment of his death. Schubert began composing this symphony in 1822, writing only two complete movements before setting it aside. He may have returned to it later if he had lived longer, but it seems clear that he stopped working on this piece because he wasn’t interested in finishing it at the time. The two completed movements were both very typical in form and style of symphonies at the time. The first is an Allegro moderato in sonata form, and the second is an Andante con moto that alternates two contrasting themes.

  • Front Matter
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-02320-8 - Campus Martius: The Field of Mars in the Life of Ancient Rome Paul W. Jacobs II and Diane Atnally Conlin Frontmatter More information CAMPUS MARTIUS A mosquito-infested and swampy plain lying north of the city walls, Rome’s Campus Martius, or Field of Mars, was used for much of the Roman Republic as a military training ground and as a site for celebratory rituals and the occasional political assembly. Initially punctuated with temples vowed by victorious generals, during the imperial era it became filled with extraordinary baths, theaters, porticoes, aqueducts, and other structures – many of which were architectural firsts for the capital. This book explores the myriad factors that contributed to the transformation of the Campus Martius from an occasionally visited space to a crowded center of daily activity. It presents a case study of the repurposing of urban landscape in the Roman world and explores how existing topographical features that fit well with the republic’s needs ultimately attracted architecture that forever transformed those features but still resonated with the area’s original military and ceremonial traditions. Paul W. Jacobs II is an independent scholar who focuses on ancient Rome and its topographical development. A graduate of Harvard College and the University of Virginia Law School, and a litigator by training, Jacobs has practiced and published in the area of voting rights, where knowledge of demographics, mapmaking, and geography is essential. He has spent extensive time in Rome and has studied the ancient city and its development for decades. Diane Atnally Conlin is Associate Professor of Classics at the University of Colorado, Boulder.

    STOLL ROME APARTMENT - IMPORTANT NOTES Via Del Governo Vecchio, 73; 00186 Roma, Italia (39)(06) 687 4824 Updated June 19, 2011 We are delighted to have friends stay in our home in Rome, which we love very much. There are a few things we think it is important for anyone to know: • Two weeks before arriving in Rome, please call Carlo Bertoni, our Rome representative [(39) 333 923 1029 or 06 689 6273; [email protected]] to schedule arrangements to receive keys for the apartment. * We have prepared a memo regarding our apartments, and some other items one might find useful. It tells how appliances work in each apartment, important phone numbers, etc. as well as other useful information as to restaurants, stores, and living in Rome. * ALARM CODE: There is an alarm keypad located next to the door in the study area with the green chairs. On entering the apartment you will hear a "Mission Impossible" tune which will end the moment you de-activate the alarm. To de-activate the alarm, please immediately press 2000 on the touch pad. Upon leaving the apartment, please activate the alarm. With all doors closed, press 2000 on the touch pad and immediately exit the apartment. * Virtually all of the buildings in the historic center of Rome, including ours, are hundreds of years old. Over the years there have obviously been many additions, some obvious, and others not so visible. The plumbing, electrical and heating systems, while of relative recent vintage and normally trouble-free, may not always work as efficiently or perfectly as we would like: in the event of any difficulty, please call and/or consult the list of "Telephone Numbers for Assistance," below.
