During the early 2nd century CE, the Roman Empire expanded its borders to its greatest extent, spanning from Spain to the Near East and northern Europe to North Africa, ushering in a period of unprecedented imperial and elite patronage in the provinces. The period is crucial for understanding the role of space in Roman art as it saw the rise of artistic interest in distortions of scale and space. This seminar-style course considers Rome's provincial art and architecture of the 2nd century CE through the conceptual lens of space. It considers the physical spaces of Roman provincial art, examining geographically diverse evidence, but also uses various conceptions of space to approach the evidence and explore the idiosyncrasies of each province’s material culture.
