LATN 450 Bad Emperors Ancient historians and biographers have long found bad emperors compelling. Caligula, Nero, and Domitian are among the emperors with the worst reputations, with noted penchants for murder, tyranny, incest, and megalomania. Why are these emperors remembered in this way? How did such negative characteristics come to dominate their legacy? Are the stories even true and how can we tell? In this class, we will read selections from Suetonius' Twelve Caesars about the most notorious emperors of the early Roman Empire. We will consider what the ancient sources have to say about their virtues and vices, consider the extent to which these portray an accurate picture, and what ancient authors were trying to achieve in doing so. Must have take LATN-201.

LATN 477 Daily Life in Imperial Rome This is an upper-level Latin course that will focus on reading two key texts to gain insight into everyday life in imperial Rome. The course has two main goals: to improve skills of reading Latin and increase understanding of Roman social history. We begin by reading the letters of Pliny the Younger, who characterizes himself as an erudite magistrate yet reveals intimate details about his personal life, including his relationship with his wife, his views on slavery, his coping with grief, and his experiences during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. We then read the Satyrica of Petronius, which simultaneously revels in and satirizes the mundanities and excesses of urban life by following the narrator and his friends on a journey through Italy. These readings invite us to consider Roman attitudes towards a number of issues still relevant today, including gender, inequality, education, politics, religion, love, justice, and morality. Must have completed LATN-201.
