B.C. Tradition has it that Rome was founded by Romulus in 753 B.C., although fortified elevations on the Palatine Hill date back to a much earlier period. The city is the capital of not only the country, but also of Latium, a region of central Italy, and of the province of Rome itself. Economically, the city has become a center for tourism, banking, insurance, printing, publishing, and fashion. Curriculum Tulane credit and grades are awarded for course work completed while studying in Rome. Courses are offered in art history, studio art, business administration, classical studies, communications, computer science, economics, English composition, English literature, history, Italian, mathematics, natural science, philosophy, political science, psychology, religion, and theater.
