ROMAN HISTORY (6 ECTS)
Critical path of Roman history

The history of Rome appears hardly synthesized, because the extent of its chronological arc and the unusual geographical and cultural spaces involved in the 'phenomenon Rome', but also for the experiences and transformations of the civilization gathered in the Roman hegemony. In the course it will try to highlight, through the analysis of literary evidence, inscriptions and art, the originality and the style of Roman history. This critical path is aimed at neutralizing certain stereotypes about ancient Rome, the result of images rooted in Western culture and the use of improper language.
