First part of the course of ROMAN HISTORY (prof. P. Porena): "Critical paths of Roman History"

Moreover Roma egemony has produced a variety of experiences and transformations. The course is meant to underline, through the analysis of literary, epigraphic and artistics sources, the original characters of Roman history, in order also to neutralize some chichés and commonplaces about the ancient Rome, which depends on deeply rooted preconceptions.
