Honors Lecture: Professor Darryl Phillips

On Friday, November 1 (3:00 PM: Maybank 100), Professor Darryl Phillips, as part of the Honors College Faculty Lecture Series, will present a lecture entitled, “What was Agrippa’s Pantheon?”.

“The Pantheon is the best preserved ancient building in Rome and one of the most well-known. Nevertheless, the history of the building has confounded scholars for centuries, and we still don’t have a firm understanding of how the building was actually used by the people who built it. This talk will examine theories about the function of Agrippa’s Pantheon, and explore the ways that scholars go about reconstructing the use of buildings in the ancient Roman World.”
