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: Archaic greek architecture.   

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: Argentum escarium, argentum potorium.

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.
