ARCH 84312

Site, History, Type, and Allegory:
The Poetics and Rhetoric of the Classical Tradition in Rome
Notes on attendance and out of class visits: since each class will involve a substantial amount
of walking, we need to begin on time; some classes may not begin at via Monterone but
instead at one of our sites; therefore, it is incumbent on you to confirm where the next class
will meet before we end the previous class; late arrivals will count as absences, and after three
unexcused absences you will be subject to a failing grade for the semester. Out of class visits
are required both for your notebooks and for research toward your final project.
