Field Trips and Cultural Activities for a Total Immersion in the Language and Culture of Ancient Rome Field Trips and Cultural Activities for a Total Immersion in the Language and Culture of Ancient Rome The Istituto Italiano di Studi Classici - IISC (Italian Institute of Classical Studies) offers three different experiences towards rediscovering the places, protagonists, and atmosphere of ancient Rome. Our proposals allow you to organize your trip in various ways, structured according to the needs of the group, during two or three days of the week, which can vary according to the following calendar: PERIOD A: October 1st - January 31st Options: Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday PERIOD B: February 1st - May 31st Options: Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday LESSONS Our lessons help students approach the language of ancient Rome in an entirely new manner, using it as a living language. The participants are stimulated in actively using the language from the first simple sentences that are addressed to them. In fact, the professors will only speak Latin, through an inductive-contextual method, which promotes a direct use of the language as a method of teaching and learning. A totally “Latin” environment is therefore created, where an overall integration facilitates learning the forms of the language and helps overcome the abstractness of theoretical studies, offering students an engaging and passionate experience of the Latin language, authentically intended as the language to use to express oneself and communicate with others. CULTURAL FIELD TRIPS By rediscovering Latin as a language and a form of active communication, students can consciously appreciate its powerful and eternal vitality, right in the most significant locations of ancient Rome. Walking through the Imperial Fora or inside the Colosseum, they are accompanied in experiencing the atmosphere of Romanity in the same language used thousands of years ago, while directly hearing, from the voice of the authors of ancient literature, facts and stories that then become more familiar and tangible, as if they were coming back to life while they progress.

    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.

  • 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.

  • By Mark Holyoake DAY 13: WEDNESDAY 8TH OCTOBER
    by Mark Holyoake DAY 13: WEDNESDAY 8TH OCTOBER This morning we assembled in St Peter’s Square with pilgrims from all around the world, to have an audience with the Holy Father. We had the opportunity to visit St Mary Major Basilica. Basilica of St. John in Lateran (First Papal residence) and the adjacent Holy Stairs brought from Jerusalem to Rome in 326AD by St Helena (as a favourite of pilgrims, these steps may only be ascended on the knees). Basilica of Santa Croce in Jerusalem with its extraordinary collection of relics from the Holy Land including a full size replica of the Shroud of Turin. St Clement’s Church where we celebrated Mass and had time to marvel at this wonderful holy site. DAY 14: THURSDAY 9TH OCTOBER After a private Mass at St Peter’s Basilica early this morning, we visited the nearby Vatican Museums for an unforgettable guided tour. Wandered the spectacular chambers leading to the Sistine Chapel to view Michelangelo’s masterpieces, including the magnificent fresco of the Last Judgment. Continued through to the awe inspiring St. Peter’s Basilica, the largest church in the world for an informative exploration that featured Michelangelo’s stunning Pieta, the tomb of St Pope John Paul II, the tomb of St John XXIII and the Crypt containing the tombs of several Popes. We then visited the excavations under St Peter’s Basilica – the Necropoli. We descended by foot down into the ruins of an ancient city under the Basilica. The 2 hour experience passing through the ancient excavations and catacombs of the early Christian Church and culminates at the site of the original tomb of St Peter.
