HOW DO WE SEE ANCIENT ROME TODAY?
Books, paintings, films, and even cartoons teach us a great deal about the ancient civilization of Rome. Remembering that hiSTORY is mainly a culture's conceptualization of times past, we can also study artifacts from the present to learn something about life before the first millennium.
Here we shall take advantage of distance learning to follow a college course entitled Ancient Rome in Film, Fiction, Fact, and Cyberspace. Select your own starting point in this course, and lay out an itinerary for your adventure. When your trip-ticket is finalized send us a copy. At some point each week write us a postcard describing the sights you have seen and the discoveries you have made.
We'll be looking forward to hearing from you and sharing the delights of these travels of the mind.
