Università Roma Tre

The course has an institutional character and aims to offer a basic knowledge of the major phases of the history of the West in the medieval period, each of the two modules emphasising a specific sector of historical reality, i.e: in the first module on the forms of political domination, so as to illustrate their diversity and their succession in relation to the changes in society and the social, economic and cultural peculiarities of each area; in the second module on the religious and cultural aspects of the history of the West, with particular emphasis on the role of religion in society and the evolution of ecclesiastical structures, the changes and the ways in which written culture was acquired and circulated.
