Classics

Educational objectives

Students will develop competences in the field of the Latin language, literature and culture.
The first module teaches the principal morfo-syntactic structures of Latin, enabling the
students to read and analyze simple Latin texts in the original language. The second
module consolidates the students' linguistic skills and teaches them to frame Latin literary
texts in their historic and cultural context. Throughout the course, students will learn to
express original and informed judgements in the field. They will be able to apply their
linguistic skills to the interpretation and analysis of texts in a competent and reflexive
manner. They will thus develop the competences necessary to continue their studies and
to make comparisons among languages, literature and cultures, starting from those of the
Roman world.

Educational objectives

This course aims to highlight the geographical and chronological coordinates of Greek civilization and the main stages of ancient Greece’s historical development based especially on the literary and epigraphic evidence. Students will learn how to approach ancient sources and will develop the ability to formulate autonomous judgments. Knowledge of Greek historical and cultural context could be subsequently exploited by students to further deepen their training in Classics and the Humanities more at large.
