511 0  Lecturer: Professor Steven L. Tuck, Miami University. 
520    Thirty-six lectures on the visual nature of ancient Rome 
       and how it was able to so successfully communicate its 
       civic and cultural values, or project a knowledge of Roman
       power, to every corner of the realm. Learn how Rome 
       communicated in visually symbolic ways, gain insight into 
       how similar tools are used today, and hone your ability to
       see them at work in the visual symbols that are part of 
       government, the military, religion, and just about every 
       aspect of contemporary public or private life.
