Ancient Rome and Its Legacies (Stanford Summer Humanities Institute)

Best for: Students who want a history and literature approach to Rome that also pays attention to lasting influence, not just dates and emperors. Day to day: Students read major Roman texts and discuss how Romans understood themselves and others, while tracing the afterlife of Roman law, art, architecture, and literature. Common pitfalls: This is reading and discussion heavy, so students should be ready to take notes, keep up with assigned texts, and participate in small-group work. Verify details on the official page.
