The students have to  strengthen their knowledge and competencies in arguments and methodological approaches of the Classical Archaeology.

On the basis of the cases study offered by the ancient painting, the students have to become able in analyzing and interpreting the ancient contexts and monuments with the consciousness of the articulated productive processes of them, of their uses and transmissions through  the different historical-cultural phases. They have also to acquire a critical capacity to judge the problematic role covered by the Greek and Latin authors in relationship to the archaeological evidences. In such perspective , the course offers diachronically  a general view of the ancient painting (Greek, Etruscan, Italic, Roman etc.) and it examines the most significant contexts and monuments knew until now, which will be also discussed in relationship with the literary tradition.

Detailed programme of the individual arguments (syllabus) will be disposable through  the Moodle platform at the beginning of the lessons.

It’s opportune, even if not obligatory, that the student has sustained a first level exam regarding the Classical Archaeology (possibly, courses on ‘Archaeology and History of  Greek and Roman Art ’).

In order to access to additional training levels, the student will be able:

-  to acquire a personal knowledge and understanding of the themes and methodological approaces of the discipline;

-  to analyze and to contextualize the archaeological case-study critically and correctly;

- to rework personal knowledge, to make also autonomous judgments;

- to master the scientific terminology of the discipline.

The teaching material prepared by the lecturer in addition to recommended textbooks (such as for instance slides, lecture notes, exercises, bibliography) and communications from the lecturer specific to the course can be found inside the Moodle platform › blended.uniurb.it

In order to auto-evaluate his/her own knowledge and competencies in analyzing and interpreting an ancient monument and/or context, during the course the student has to produce a short text and/or a schedule based on illustrations, which will be corrected in classroom all together with the professor.
