Abstract	The integration of the study of art and history in a broad context of social, cultural, and political meaning cultivates a students' creative, aesthetic, critical and art historical sensibilities. This unit of study explores the time of the Roman Emperor Trajan, the decades from A.D. 98 to 180, a period considered to be the height of civilization. The lessons are organized around text-based primary documents and visual-based sculpture, architecture, urban designs, and ancient artifacts. Students learn how to "read" paintings, buildings, symbols, and photographs and to probe the potential and limits of images and artifacts to explain the past. The emphasis is on removing the distance that students feel from historical events and connecting them more intimately with the past. An introduction is included and discusses the unit's approach and rationale, content and organization, unit context, unit objectives, and correlation to the National History Standards. There are six lesson plans: (1) "Trajan: The Man and His Empire"; (2) "The People of Trajan's Rome"; (3) "Building Trajan's City"; (4) "Governing Trajan's City and Empire"; (5) "Provisioning Imperial Rome"; and (6) "Entertainment in Imperial Rome." Contains a glossary, a list of illustrations, and a bibliography and resource list. (BT)
