We had a wonderful time in the ancient city course this week! We visited the Capitoline Museum, Tarquinia and Cerveteri (a student favorite), and Villa Julia. Our main themes of the week were cross culturalization and how dating affects our understanding of Rome.

During our first weekend we explored different obelisks around Rome for our Ancient City course!
