Objective and content. The workshop is devoted to the ancient historian's method and aims to provide students with critical and methodological tools for understanding and interpreting sources from the past. Through the analysis of sources and case studies, the training is structured on two levels: introduce students to the critical methods of historical research, showing - on the basis of texts in translation - how ancient authors selected, interpreted and narrated facts; provide the tools for a conscious use of sources in their variety (literary, epigraphic, documentary), and of bibliographical, traditional and digital resources. . The workshop involves individual work in which each student (independently or in small groups) will analyse an ancient source, putting into practice the skills acquired. The work may concern a literary text, an inscription or an archaeological find. The work will then be displayed and discussed in the classroom, stimulating critical discussion between students and teachers. The entire workshop will be designed in a seminar-like manner, in which the student will be involved and invited to actively participate. 1 CFU Lecturer: Marco Enrico Start: to be determined Time and place: to be determined Mode: in presence To register go to the web classroom https://2025.aulaweb.unige.it/course/view.php?id=6467 and follow the directions.
