Period
CuCi IIA dal Feb 15, 2021 al Apr 1, 2021.
Learning outcomes
The course will give students the conceptual, methodological and cultural background for analyzing and interpreting the most important problems of Roman history, in light of the most recent historiograpy. It will also aim to develop the skills for a correct and appropriate language and for a better knowledge of the main aspects of Latin civilization.
Program
The course is divided into two parts:
- the first consists in the classes, devoted to the Severan Age. Students will be provided with images and texts thanks to powerpoint files with images of archaeological documents and historical texts, which will be at their disposal also online.
- the second part consists in the study of Herodianus, History of the Roman Empire after Marcus Aurelius (an edition with commentary).
Students who are unable to attend every class may use the E-Learning site of the University of Verona, where they may find the recorded lessons, the images and texts which are necessary for their study.
At the end of each lesson a short debate is possible in order to clarify what could have been eventually difficult to understand.
