The course offers a general framework on the artistic and material culture of the Greek and Roman societies. Particular attention will be paid to the main monuments and the most significant productions from the geometric period to early fourth century AD. Through a sampling of contexts and productions will be presented and discussed the concepts of absolute and relative chronology; the socio-cultural system; network of socio-economic development; of artistic language, with its stylistic and formal code.

The course will take place in the second semester and will be divided into two sections:

A (Introduction to the archaeology and history of Greek Art); B (Introduction to the archaeology and history of Roman Art).   

A) The introduction to archaeology and history of Greek art will be through the presentation of artistic productions and the main monuments from geometric period to Hellenism.

Case Study: The archaeology of death. Necropolis and funerary monuments in Attica.   

B) The introduction of archaeology and history of Roman art will be through the presentation of artistic productions and the main monuments from the Republican period to Constantine time.  

Case Study: Roman Imperial Portrait.

As part of the course will involve specific lectures by external teachers focusing on the Greek and Roman problems.

The candidate must demonstrate through an interview that he learned and developed independently the methodological grounds of the discipline, by applying them to the recognition of contexts and materials. They must to be properly framed in the correct historical and cultural period.

They will give rise to evaluations of excellence: the student's possession of good critical and in-depth skills; the ability to connect the main topics dealt; the use of an appropriate language with respect to the specific nature of the discipline.

They will give rise to discrete evaluations: the student's possession of a basic knowledge of the contents; a relative critical capacity and connection between the themes dealt; the use of an appropriate language.

They will give rise to sufficient evaluations: the achievement of minimal knowledge on the subjects dealt with by the student, even if there are some training gaps; the use of inappropriate language.

They will give rise to negative evaluations: difficulty of orientation of the student with respect to the topics dealt with in the exam texts; training gaps; the use of inappropriate language.
