Mediterranean Archaeology

Students will deepen their knowledge of Ancient Greek and Roman history and culture through analysis of case-studies; they are also expected to increase their understanding of ancient evidence, especially literary texts and epigraphic documents. By studying and discussing the sources, they will be enabled to interpret and interrelate historical narratives. The course will tackle the historical issues by applying the knowledge and understanding of ancient sources and will lead the students to make their own judgements on this basis. They will also display their newly acquired skills in reading and interpreting ancient evidence during class lections and the final oral exam, at the meantime showing their learning skills in historical commentaries on many literary and epigraphic sources.
