'The seminar examines the estates and palatial buildings erected throughout the Roman world between the first century BCE and the fourth century CE. Recent archaeological discoveries and accounts of ancient writers offer rich evidence for design, interiors, furnishings, and gardens. The complexes allow insight into daily lives of individuals with diverse cultural identities both in Rome and farflung provinces.'
