This course surveys the history of Europe's most resonant urban symbol, the city of Rome, from antiquity to the Baroque era (1600s). It focuses both on Rome's own urban, political and cultural history and on the city's changing content as a symbol over 2000 years. This is a lecture and discussion course that emphasizes reading and viewing primary sources, both literary texts and visual images.
