In the Late Republic, Rome becomes an arena of social and political strife. This seminar explores the radical transformation of Rome’s cityscape in this crucial period of Roman history: elite patronage and munificence, war commemoration and the Roman triumph, modes of aristocratic self-display in portraiture and coinage, *otium*-culture and leisure-lifestyles.
