The knowledge of Roman history is essential and implicitly obvious in a degree course in literature, both for those who want to deepen the classical disciplines, and for those who are directed to issues and interests on periods less distant in time or closer to us. In fact, it is a fundamental period for the development of the civilization in which we live.
Aim of the course is to provide an overview of the history of the major Roman institutions, particularly in relation to the political events that shaped their development, as well as the bibliographic tools needed for an introduction to study and research in this field.
As for the students who must acquire 6 CFU, it is necessary to know the Roman history from its origins to the fall of the Western Roman Empire.
Students who must acquire 9 CFU, to this knowledge must add that of literary, epigraphic sources etc. thanks to which we are able to reconstruct the evolution of Rome from the year of its foundation.
An even generic knowledge of the historical reality in which the foundation of Rome is inserted.
Useful though not essential is the knowledge of Latin.
The teaching activity will take place in the classroom.
It is required the drafting of a short in-depth text written on a topic of your choice inherent to the program carried out, which must be sent one week before the exam to which you intend to present.
