Trajan's Column | Ancient Rome and the Art of Empirical Domination

This video examines how art enables empires to maintain a hegemonic hold on society over numerous generations. Trajan's Column is perhaps the greatest preserved architectural structure from antiquity. This video is an excerpt from Hugh Leeman's lectures on ancient Rome. Leeman's lectures focus on the power of art to create narratives, construct civilizations, and control societies. In addition to studio art talks and artistic workshops, his lectures on art range from ancient Rome to the Renaissance and Ukiyo-e prints to medieval manuscripts and Mesoamerican art.

cryptocurrency to top-secret microbes.
