In the evaluation of the student's performance, emphasis is placed on the student's general knowledge of the culture of Antiquity including the interplay between material relics, literature, history and social conditions.
This course aims to give the student a basic knowledge of the ancient world from Archaic Greece to Constantine the Great (ca. 700 BC - AD 337), a period of fundamental importance for the understanding of European culture. The various cultural periods will establish the framework for the study of the Greek and Roman societies with their political institutions and their pagan and religious centres. The course will concentrate on topics like urban centres and sanctuaries, architecture, pottery and vase-painting, mythology, sculpture and portraits together with major literary works, such as epic, the Greek tragedies, historiography and authors such as Sophocles, Thucydides, Cicero and Vergil.
