Antiquity and Roman Studies

The course aims to provide a preparation as to the political institutions of Rome (such as powers and competencies of the magistrates, of the assemblies and of the senate; powers and role of the emperor), to explore in detail various aspects of the administrative structures of the Roman state as well as of the cities of the Empire and to outline traditions and habits of the Roman daily life.

Upon successful completion of the course students are expected to understand the institutional and administrative structures of the Roman state, the Roman habits and traditions and their mutual connections with political, economic and social facts of the Roman world.
They will also be able to present and discuss specific cases and examples by means of appropriate historical and methodological instruments and by employing adequate vocabulary.
