Università Roma Tre

After a first part concerning the evolution of the city in Roman Italy (and its architectural, juridical, etc. aspects), the course aims to face aspects and themes of classical urbanism using the cities of Campania as sample cases ( with particular regard to Pompeii and Pozzuoli). Finally, the cases of Campania will be compared with other cities in Roman Italy.
Visits to Ostia are planned during the course.
Working students, or those who could not follow the course due to justified reasons, will have to bring an alternative program, agreed with the teacher.
