Facilitator
Prof. Marcus H.
An immersive 8-week exploration of Roman urbanism, from the Etruscan kings to the Baroque masters. We will treat the city not just as a collection of monuments, but as a living text of political and theological ambition.
Each session combines live virtual lectures with interactive site analysis. Students will learn to "read" the layers of history visible in a single piazza.
