About the event

A&L Crash Course - Sport and Society in the Ancient World
Get a one-hour sampling of the power of a Notre Dame liberal arts education with the College of Arts & Letters' Crash Course series on home football Fridays!

On Sept. 12, Luca Grillo with Classics will lead the Sport and Society in the Ancient World session.

Today, sports and sport-like spectacles are a source of livelihood, entertainment, and social interaction for huge swathes of the global population. Fans and athletes were likewise a major component of ancient Greco-Roman society, from the earliest Olympic Games to the Roman gladiatorial contests and chariot races. In this session, attendees will engage in an introductory examination of the origin and nature of sport and spectacle in the classical world and will compare the role that athletics played in ancient society to the position it occupies in our own lives.

The lecture begins at 2:30 p.m. in 129 DeBartolo Hall. All are welcome, no ticket is required. More information can be found at al.nd.edu/events/crash-course.
