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).   Classes are held on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays at the following times: Tuesday 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.; Wednesday 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.; Thursday 9:00 to 11:00. Any changes will be promptly communicated.    

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 Mausoleum at Alicarnassos.    

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: The Roman Imperial Portrait: Hadrian and the Antonine Emperors.
