Relics of the Early Greek and Roman Cultures

Relics of the Greek and Early Roman Cultures I visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Saturday, November 30, 2002. When I entered the galleries, used a floor map to locate the rooms of the Belfer Court. This map showed me that all of the galleries I needed to complete the project were adjacent to each other, so I did not need to look at the map any longer. It was simple to figure out what time …

…geometric figures from the seventh and sixth centuries served as an example of tools and skills of the people of that time period. The female sculptures of the sixth and fifth centuries B.C. helped show the different roles of women in society. Finally, the bedroom from the Villa at Boscoreale gave examples of standards of living of the prosperous. This trip to the museum was an excellent way to bring course material to life.
