The course offers a primer in the study of ancient Rome and representative archeological sites and monuments. The course combines explanatory lectures with site visits. It is dedicated to a thorough exploration of ancient Rome, especially in the Republican and Imperial periods. The ubiquitous remains are organized by direct study and by studying these as luminous fragments of ancient Roman life, customs, beliefs and history.
