ADAH 364 - LATE ANTIQUE & EARLY CHRISTIAN ART Credits: Three This course surveys the art and architecture produced during the
late Roman period through the early Christian period. This time
span witnessed political and religious transitions as the world of
pagan Rome gave way to that of early Christianity. The material
presented in this course examines the development of art and
architecture throughout this transitional period. Students will
examine the role of pagan art in the construction of Christian
iconography, the development of early Christian sacred space, and
the continued influence of Roman culture and images through the
Carolingian period. Readings and museum visits will supplement
slide lectures and provide a point of departure for in-class
discussion.
