Each year the Professor-in-Charge designs a special multi-day excursion to another stunning part of the Roman empire, which grants Centristi a richer sense of Rome’s place in the Mediterranean. Previous destinations have included Sicily, Northern Italy, and Southern France.
Whatever the itinerary, venturing beyond the caput mundi offers the chance to learn about Rome’s interactions with the Mediterranean’s other peoples, to consider Roman exploitation of its territory, and to offer a point of comparison between ancient cultures.
