CLST 395 / ROST 395: Topography of Rome
at the Rome Center
Fall Semester 1999
Dr. Jacqueline Long
Schedule of Reading Assignments and Topics
The reading assignments yield essential preparation for class meetings
and visits to sites:
complete the reading before the day for which a reading is listed;
review it again as needed.
Texts
- Amanda Claridge, Rome, Oxford Archaeological Guides
- Jo-Ann Shelton, As the Romans Did, second edition
- John E. Stambaugh, The Ancient Roman City
- Alta Macadam, Rome, Blue Guide, sixth edition
- On one Wednesday yet to be determined, all Rome Center classes will be canceled in favor of a Papal Audience. Therefore this schedule does not mark a class for the last Wednesday of the term: when the Wednesday for visiting the Vatican is determined, we will slide down a week all classes after it, so as to come out even. Watch out for scheduling announcements!
- This schedule notes the main area for our visits in a general way; specific times and places for our meetings will be posted in advance each week on the notice-board in the porter's lodge.
- Be sure to allow plenty of time (usually an hour or more) to get from the Rome Center to the meeting-point. Our time together is limited, and we have a lot to explore, so we will have to be ruthlessly prompt.
- Wear clothing in which you will be comfortable walking outdoors, sometimes at great length, no matter what the weather is doing to us. Sturdy, comfortable shoes are essential.
