( syllabus)
The course aims to provide students with the tools for a scientific approach to the study of Roman history, from its origins to the "noiseless fall" of the western part. The first part of the course will deal with themes of chronology, historical geography, historiography and epigraphy, alternating lessons of a more purely eventual nature with others centered on broad methodological issues. The second part of the course will instead have a monographic and seminar character: it will be dedicated to the study of Roman religion in its multiple aspects and intersections with the world of law, politics, war, agriculture, economy and daily life more in general.
A) GENERAL PART Archaic Lazio and the birth of Rome; the myths of the origins; the age of kings; the birth of the Republic and the Roman constitution; the last century of the Republic and civil wars; the Augustan principality; the first two centuries of imperial history; the crisis of the third century; the great reformers: Aureliano, Diocleziano, Costantino; the fourth century and Christian Rome; Romans and barbarians; the fall of the Western Roman Empire.
B) IN-DEPTH MONOGRAPHIC STUDY Rome and the others. Who were the Romans? What did they know, or what did they think they knew, about their origins? How did they build their universal dominion, embodied in the myth of Roma caput mundi ("Rome capital of the world")? A widespread perception recognizes in the history of Rome above all its violent and martial aspects, the ability to sacrifice everything in the name of the rules, the brutality of slavery, the conquests, the destruction of entire cities (think of that of Carthage and Corinth in 146 BC or that of Jerusalem in 70 AD just to name a few of the most famous examples). Yet, this is only one of the "faces" of Rome, perhaps the best known and most impressive (in this sense, the fascist myth of the Roman era undoubtedly played an important role), but certainly not the only one. Right from the start, alongside the ferocity embodied in the episode of fratricide, Rome exhibits, through the myth of the Asylum, an "open", inclusive character, which recognizes otherness as a resource, rather than a threat. In fact, the Romans have shown that they do not recognize any value to the theme of race and ethnic purity; they integrated the vanquished peoples, provided they were ready to abandon themselves to the fides of the victors, granting them citizenship through simple and rapid procedures, which are unmatched in the history of the great empires; even slaves became citizens once they were freed (unlike what happened in the neighboring Greek world, in Rome escaping slavery was much easier: the will of the master was enough and he could grant freedom individually, even by testament, without having to involve the entire city community in the decision). In short, ferocity and welcome, domination and integration, discipline and flexibility do not represent opposing and divergent expressions, but harmonious and complementary expressions of Romanism, which, only if held together, can explain the "miracle" of such a vast and long-lived multi-ethnic empire.

cult archeology in the classical word
(objectives)
Based on the general knowledge of Greek archeology and art history gained during the three-year degree course, the teaching aims to provide a thematic study on some specific manifestations of Greek material and visual culture. Topics will be addressed that will analyze the most different examples of architecture and the artistic and artisan production of the Greek world of Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic age. The main purpose is to highlight the fundamental contribution of archaeological research for the understanding of some important cultural and social phenomena of the ancient world, in the framework of a methodological approach based on a careful analysis of textual (literary and historical) and contextual (archaeological and historical-artistic) data. Among the various issues that can be addressed, particular attention it will be paid to those connected with the archeology of cult and ritual practices.

DE ANGELI Stefano
( syllabus)
Archeology of cult and ritual practice. Starting from an introduction on the main aspects of Greek religion (polytheism, anthropomorphism, continuity / discontinuity with the Mycenaean world, cult of heroes, etc.), the course will address some of the main aspects of archeology of cult: - the ritual, as a concrete and founding manifestation of religious activity, whose various expressions, connected to the most diverse occasions, can be reconstructed through the study of literary and material testimonies and therefore of textual (literary and historical) and contextual (archaeological) data ; - the construction typologies of cult and their functions: altar, temple, thesauròs, hestiatòrion, stoà, etc .; - the votive offering as a ritual practice to establish a relationship with the divinity and an instrument for defining one's social status and the votive deposit as a coherent set of materials, of different typology and nature, result of an intentional action; - sacrifice, as one of the most important expressions of Greek ritual practice that often leaves important direct and indirect archaeological evidence; - the image of divinity, as a material manifestation of the divine between the notions of anàthema and àgalma; - artisanal manufacturing for the sacred consumption: the votive terracottas; - the funeral ritual: relevance in the cult practice, social significance and archaeological evidence.

1. Monographic topic. The comparison between word and image from lyric to rhetoric and literary criticism
The course will analyze the pages in which the comparison between word and image is developed, in relation to the wide development that the comparison will have in the whole European culture both in the literary and figurative fields. The anlysis will start from Pindar and choral lyric and will reach the rhetoric of the fourth century, with Alcidamante and Isocrates, Plato and Aristotle: here the comparison takes on an even greater complexity, based on the refined analysis of the different technical aspects. Literary criticism draws from this tradition, from Dionysius of Halicarnassus to Plutarch.
2. General part. Authors and literary genres from Homer to the Hellenistic age and to Plutarch.
For non-attending students: - reading at least two texts of your choice, one in poetry, one in prose, within the context of the Greek literary tradition - a short critical essay on the texts chosen for the exam - a handbook of Greek literature Texts to be read, critical essay and manual are to be agreed through an interview during the reception hours at least one month before the exam.

( syllabus)
The course is divided into two parts. The first outlines the development of Byzantine art from the 4th to the 14th century through the analysis of several particularly significant monuments and works. The second analyzes the controversial phenomenon of ‘Iconoclasm’ (destruction of images) sanctioned by the imperial edict of 730 which lasted until 843. The causes and reasons will be investigated by comparing the sources with the artistic production, in the light of recent studies that have questioned its existence (Brubaker 2012, 2016)

Pittura e scultura a Viterbo e nel suo territorio in età moderna (1400 - 1799)
Il corso mira a sviluppare uno degli aspetti peculiari della storia dell’arte, il rapporto diretto con l’oggetto di studio, nonché la conoscenza approfondita del territorio nel quale si trova il nostro Ateneo. La scelta di un quadro cronologico così vasto è determinata dal carattere seminariale del corso e dall'esigenza di assecondare gli interessi di studio dei prtecipanti. Di conseguenza l'ambito cronologico di riferimento verrà definito all'inizio del corso durante il quale verrà sollecitata la partecipazione attiva degli studenti, che dovranno presentare relazioni sia in aula sia nei sopralluoghi.

underwater archeology
(objectives)
The aim of the course is to offer students a basic theoretical preparation on the methodologies and main investigation tools currently adopted on submerged archaeological contexts (marine, lake and river). At the end of the study course, the student will have acquired an adequate cognitive framework that will allow him to orient himself among the techniques, strategies, regulations and new technologies applied to research, protection and enhancement of the underwater cultural heritage.

MEDAGLIA SALVATORE
( syllabus)
The module is divided into two parts. The first will deal with general topics aimed at offering an overview of the history of the discipline, the main fields of application and the peculiar characteristics of submerged sites. Ports, landings, fish ponds and, in general, the main coastal infrastructures will be illustrated. The study of wrecks and their formation processes will be tackled and current developments and methodological orientations of naval archeology will be examined. Ample space will be devoted to the methods and techniques of underwater archaeological intervention: the construction site, instrumentation, stratigraphic excavation, prospecting, positioning, documentation and new instrumental survey systems. We will offer a theoretical framework of the main recovery procedures and first conservative treatment of underwater archaeological artefacts and we will examine the regulations related to the UNESCO Convention on the protection of the underwater cultural heritage adopted in Paris in 2001 and ratified in Italy with Law 157 / 2009. At the end of this first part of the course, a review of the current guidelines of investigation and documentation of sites in deep waters will be sketched and the new frontiers of in situ enhancement of the underwater archaeological heritage will be discussed in the light of the most recent experiences gained in Europe and in the rest of the world. The second part of the course will be reserved for the archeology of navigation and commerce of the Greek and Roman age. After an introduction on the techniques of ancient navigation in which the peculiar aspects of life on board and the beliefs of sailors will also be analyzed, the main sources of information that underwater archeology will be examined, through the examination of naval loads and contexts submerged, offers the reconstruction of trans-Mediterranean routes and, in general, the study of long-range trade.
Without prejudice to the anti-Covid rules, during the lessons an in-depth seminar is planned with the involvement of a specialist in the discipline and a visit to a naval archeology museum will be scheduled.
