RONCHEY SILVIA
(syllabus)
WHAT IS BYZANTIUM AND WHY DO WE NEED TO STUDY IT?
The first part of the Byzantine Civilization teaching, addressed to Classics, History and Art undergraduates, aims to answer to the following questions: what is Byzantium? What are the benefits of studying it and why do we need to study it? Why is the study of Byzantium important not only to those interested in the Byzantine studies themselves but also to those who are involved with classical philology, Christian studies, archeology, art history and history, in their classical, medieval and modern nature, as well as history of religions and philosophy?
