Cultures and Religions

Consistent with the educational objectives of the Course of Study in which it is included, the teaching aims to provide a critical approach to the cultural-historical and historical-religious phenomena of the Roman age. The course aims to provide tools and methods of inquiry useful for enhancing the ability to understand and critically analyze, within the framework of Roman History, ancient sources (literary, legal, papyrus, epigraphic, iconographic, etc.) by making judgments in an autonomous form, communicating ideas, problematizing issues and raising historical questions in a clear and correct manner, and thus developing the skills necessary to undertake any subsequent research. Specifically, the teaching aims to draw as complete a picture as possible of the aforementioned topics even in the context of contemporary historiographical debates.
