Università Roma Tre

Description of the course: The course is meant as a support to the study of the handbook, which students are required to manage independently: cfr. "Bibliography", points A-B-C-D. It consists of a cycle of monographic lessons about single periods, aspects or characters of the Greek history, from its origin to the stabilization of the Hellenistic monarchies. The course will offer a series of cronological and geographical panels useful to outline institutional, historical and cultural features of the Greek world. Lessons are meant as selective surveys and as examples of methodology of the historical research. Students will be introduced to the set of problems and to the methods of analysis of the various kinds (literary, epigraphic, archaeological, numismatic) of historical source.

The course is addressed to students of all study courses and, in particular, to those who have not acquired yet credits in the field of Greek history. It is propedeutic to 1) Greek epigraphy I (Bechelor's degree); 2) Historical Geography of the Greek World (Bachelo's degree)
