Learning outcomes

Educational aims. The course is aimed at improving the students’ knowledge of history and institutions of the Romans during the Archaic Age, the fundamental principles which the Roman society was based on, the dialectics between Romans and the Latin communities.
Students will be guided towards a critical analysis of the documentary sources, both archaeological and literary or epigraphic. Such an analysis will allow them to acquire the skill of distinguishing the nature and the features of the different types of documents and, subsequently, of putting them in comparison. Another acquired skill will be that of singling out the principles which the political debate of the Romans was concerned with, and the effect of this debate on the birth and development of the historical tradition.
