LATN 350 - Latin Epigraphy

Credits: 3 Prerequisite: LATN 202 or instructor consent. Study of the monuments of the Roman Empire and the importance of text in Roman culture. From religious offerings to building dedications, from wax tablets to statue bases listing an individual’s career, inscriptions were a central part of Roman culture from the time of the emperor Augustus through the fourth century. Laws, catacombs, dedications to the emperor, and other topics provide a view into Roman culture and civilization. FDR: HL Benefiel.
