in the context of historical and social records from antiquity. Previous knowledge of basics from subjects like Roman provincial archaeology or Roman frontier studies is welcomed but not necessarily mandatory for the participants. The lecture is originally designed for the students of Classical archaeology but is also recommended for students of Latin and Greek studies as well as students of other branches of archaeology and historians in general. The course is divided into 11 independent lectures which extend each other and together offer students a valuable insight into the archaeology of one of the principal Roman provinces, Britannia. The course is taught in English. |
