The Coliseum in Rome

BLOCK 5 - SPRING 2027

RE200: MARTYRS & SAINTS

ROME, ITALY

What does it mean to be “religious” in the ancient Mediterranean? How do myth and ritual operate in this context? How did Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians understand and express their relationship with the divine realm? To address these questions and others, this course explores various aspects of religious life in the ancient world through study and exploration of sites in Greece, including relevant literary, material, and archaeological evidence. As we examine diverse beliefs and practices, we will attend to how religion intersected with political, social, and economic facets of ancient life.

Course Expectations

Heightened Physical & Psychological Requirements for All Study Away: Study Away or Abroad can be a very different experience than an on-campus course, requiring both physical and mental adjustments which may not be typical for your on-campus experience. This includes requirements for physical activity such as more extensive physical movement (walking, touring, extended sedentary time during travel, etc.), requirements to manage luggage, often on uneven terrain such as cobblestone streets or buildings without elevators, or locations with limited medical facilities, potential extremes of weather and temperature.

Housing options are also significantly different from an on-campus experience. Some programs will use family homestays while others will require students live in pairs, triples, and quads. Travel is also inherently a stressful alteration to your normal routines, with greater flexibility, adaptability and resilience required, whether it is dealing with distinct cultures, language differences, feelings of “otherness” or lack of belonging, or simply greater ambiguity and unfamiliarity with surroundings.

We recommend that all students consider these realities of study away and abroad as they consider programs. Below we will list any known expectations which the faculty have identified for their specific course.

Expectations for Study on this Program:This program requires significant walking or hiking to explore sites around the city or to participate in course activities. It also may feature immersion in unfamiliar community settings, housing types unfamiliar to students, or other potentially heightened-stress scenarios which may produce challenges to student mental health.
