Weeks 11 and 12 of the Ancient Art History Survey covered Roman and early Christian art from the 2nd to 8th centuries AD. Key topics included the damnatio memoriae practice of disgracing emperors after death, emperor Trajan's forum and Column, Hadrian's architectural works including the Pantheon and Villa at Tivoli, and Constantine's adoption of Christianity marked by the Vision and Battle of the Milvian Bridge. Early Christian art incorporated Roman forms like the basilica and adapted motifs from catacomb paintings. Icons emerged as a subject of controversy, with iconoclasts against their production based on the Second Commandment during the 8th century debates.
