America’s engagement with Greece and Rome constitutes a continuous thread in the conversation that has created our culture and institutions. Classicizing Philadelphia, a digital research and outreach project at Bryn Mawr College, seeks to document, study, and continue this important conversation in its many forms throughout the history of the city of Philadelphia.

Classicizing Philadelphia is at an early stage in its development, and this web site will continue to grow. For news about this project, see our blog.  For further information, contact classicizingphiladelphia(at)gmail.com.
