This course examines the ancient city of Athens from its
origin in prehistory to the Roman period. We will
concentrate on the archaic and classical phases (ca. 700-350
BCE) considering the relationship of city and countryside,
uses of private and public space, the permutations of the
Agora (marketplace) and Acropolis, and evidence for daily
life, political and religious activities. The expression of
ideology through art and architecture and the roles of
historical events and politics in shaping the city will be
major concerns.
