CLS 191 - Ancient Engineering

Course Units: 1

How did people living in the ancient Mediterranean region physically transform the world around them, and what do those transformations tell us about their values and beliefs? We’ll examine major engineering successes (and failures) such as temples, aqueducts, catapults, and more, using multiple forms of evidence, from archaeology, visual imagery, and inscriptions, to re-enactment and 3D modeling.
