This course will examine Roman imperial art within the context of daily life, addressing questions about how the objects were used, where they were displayed, and who would have seen them. We will also explore how works of art can be used as evidence to help us reconstruct the daily activities, social roles, beliefs, and institutions of the Roman people during the imperial period. The course is organized thematically around different spheres of Roman life, including politics, religion, business and commerce, spectacle and entertainment, domestic life, and the lives of women and children.
