UNO Ancient Mediterranean Studies Minor

A reminder! Tomorrow night (3/31) in the CEC, rm 209, 6pm!

Dr. Jared Benton, from just down the road at UNL, will be our spring guest speaker:

"That tasty roll you bought at a roadside shop in Rome or Pompeii? Do you know who baked it?

Dr. Benton argues that Roman bakeries existed along a "continuum of coercion," raising questions about the overlap between slavery, punishment, and incarceration in the ancient world. Monetizing prison labor is not a new concept."

Snacks provided!

Dr. Reames will be teaching her Alexander the Great and the Macedonian Origin class this fall. The class begins with the kings before Alexander, including his father, Philip of Macedon, then traces his campaign in Persia and the establishment of a mythos that would last down even to today.

M/W, 11:30am - 12:45pm

Dr. Bridget Sandhoff is bringing back her Pop Antiquity class for fall. She'll explore interpretations of the ancient world via modern art/architecture and film/television. Students will examine how both fields respond to ancient history, myth, and culture as well as reflect on modern conceptions and stereotypes about the ancient world.

ART 4930/8936 Tues. 4:30-7:10pm

Enrollments are open! I'll be posting here about at least some classes AMS minors can take. We're starting with English, Dr. James Vnuk:

ENGL 2500: LIT OF WEST CIV: ANCIENT WORLD, 1:00-2:15pm M/W

In Literature of the Ancient World, we explore and demystify the foundational masterworks of the western literary tradition. Join us as we dive into Homer, Virgil, and many others to see not only how the people of the ancient world lived in and experienced the world, but also how they can help us navigate the present day.

That tasty roll you bought at a roadside shop in Rome or Pompeii...do you know who baked it?

Dr. Jared Benton, from UNL just down the road, will be our spring guest speaker. He's talking about...

ROMAN BAKERIES IN CARCERAL LANDSCAPES: Coerced Labor, Incarceration and Slavery.

6pm, 209 CEC, some snacks provided (baked goods of course)

Dr. Benton argues that Roman bakeries existed along a "continuum of coercion," raising questions about the overlap between slavery, punishment, and incarceration in the ancient world. Monetizing prison labor is not a new concept.
