Rome Regional Studies
This course delves into how Rome’s geology, rivers, hills, and landforms influenced the development of its iconic monuments, infrastructure, and urban layout. Participants will explore the interplay between natural features like the Tiber River, quarries, and terraces with construction materials and historical growth from early Rome to Late Antiquity. Ideal for geography and geology professionals, it provides practical case studies on mapping sites, assessing hazards such as floods and seismic risks, evaluating material durability, and understanding long-term urban resilience and land-use changes.
