The 2010 Florida College travel-study opportunity will take participants to ancient Greece and Rome. We hope to gain an appreciation of our own culture’s classical heritage and learn about the context in which Christianity was first preached and spread. In Greece we will spend a day at ancient Delphi, where the Greeks believed Apollo’s oracle answered questions put to her. Included is a tour of the museum that holds some famous treasures from the site. We will also visit ancient Corinth. The Greek portion of the trip will end in Athens—where we will visit Mars Hill, the famous Parthenon and the other buildings of the Athenian acropolis, the prison where the Greek philosopher Socrates was executed, and the ancient artistic treasures of the National Archaeological Museum. The Roman portion of the trip will center around Rome where we will visit the Coliseum, the Augustan forum, and other ruins associated with the ancient city. We will also see Ostia, which served as the port of Rome and is one of the bestpreserved ancient sites in Italy. There will be personal free time to view such attractions as the Trevi Fountain, Nero’s palace, the tomb of Augustus and the Altar of Peace, the Vatican, the ancient Appian Way, or time for shopping. The trip is open to all FC constituents. Students earn Humanities credit for the trip by enrolling in HUM 2930 in the spring semester. Visit the FC website for a com-
