Mediterranean Archaeology

Consistently with the educational objectives of the whole MA course, this teaching unit aims to provide students with knowledge and comprehension skills that complement and/or strengthen those acquired in their first cycle of study. Students will be enabled to deal with original topics even in a research context, formulate judgements in a more complex and articulated form and study the topics autonomously. The course will explore, through selected case studies, Greek and Latin literary production from the point of view of its function as an expression of cultural identities related to specific historical, social and religious contexts, focusing on relations between the elites and other strata of society, and between centres and peripheries in the Mediterranean world.
