This highly illustrated course will explore the history and significance of archaeological exploration of the Classical Greek and Roman worlds. Many of the most important discoveries and historical developments will be presented and evaluated. Sites will include Pompeii, Mycenae, Troy, Crete, Athens, Delphi, Olympia, Rome and Ostia.
