The course is divided in two parts: the first treats Greece and traces the development of the Aegean civilisations through the Dark Ages to the rise, demise and incorporation of the Greek city-states into the Hellenistic world. A second part concerns the Roman world, starting with a study of the roots of Rome, its links with the Greek and Etrusco-Italic world, its birth from a synoecism of different people and cultures. In both parts of this course, particular attention is given to the study of most representative monuments (urbanism, architecture, sculpture, painting).
