Prof. Conlin specializes in the art, architecture and archaeology
of ancient Rome. After receiving her Ph.D. in Classical Art
and Archaeology from the Interdepartmental Program in Classical
Art and Archaeology at the University of Michigan in 1993,
Prof. Conlin published her first award winning book, The Artists
of the Ara Pacis: The Process of Hellenization in Roman Relief
Sculpture (Chapel Hill 1997). An expert on Roman marble carving
techniques, styles and restorations, Prof. Conlin is currently
examining the style, production and iconography of public
sculptures produced during the Flavian Period. Her next monograph,
Political Art in Flavian Rome (under contract with Cambridge
University Press), explores the intersections and multivalent
symbolism of style, imperial iconography and Silver Age literature
during the reign of Domitian.
In addition her art historical research, Prof Conlin is co-director
of the Colorado/Kalamazoo/Comune di Roma archaeological excavations
at the Villa of Maxentius on the Via Appia in Rome. The Villa
of Maxentius project combines a multi-year research program
with a student field school to excavate the residential buildings
of this pivotal imperial complex in the suburbs of Rome. Prof.
Conlin’s archaeological project addresses the design,
site selection and eventual fate of this early fourth century
C.E. structure built by the self-declared pagan emperor Maxentius
a short time before his defeat at the hands of Constantine
the Great at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge in 312. Undergraduate
and graduate art history students are encouraged to apply
for admission to the archaeological field school.
Prof. Conlin holds a joint appointment in the Departments
of Art and Art History and Classics. She teaches undergraduate
survey courses in art history and classical archaeology and
a more advanced survey course on the art and architecture
of Rome and the Roman Empire. She also offers advanced topics
courses on Roman sculpture, Roman architecture, ancient Italian
painting, Greek sculpture and narratives in ancient and medieval
art. At the graduate level, Prof. Conlin offers seminars on
Hellenistic art and archaeology, Augustan Rome, the topography
of ancient Rome and Roman numismatics.
