Inscriptions occupy a central position in this study, precisely because of their nature as original documents and their great variety of forms, contents and functions. Epigraphy is the discipline that studies inscriptions as writing with a specific focus on the contexts and devices of their use. Although Greek and Latin epigraphy are similar in several respects, they differ in more than one, starting with language, and as such will be explored in depth in the individual modules of the course which are coordinated and complementary, as illustrated in their respective presentations (Greek Epigraphy and Latin Epigraphy). AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES Greek Epigraphy, module I: Getting acquainted with alphabetical Greek writing, its peculiarities, and its evolution (from Archaic Age until Hellenistic-Roman Age); Acquiring a method to critically analyze different kinds of epigraphic sources; Knowing Greek civilization by reading and analyzing epigraphic texts related to institutional, political, and social contexts; Being able to carry out specific bibliographical research by using traditional and online research instruments.
