1. Classroom activities: lectures (presentations supported by power point presentations) and eventually class discussions on the topics covered and the bibliography worked on.
2. Group essay: each student will participate in a team work (2-3 people) that will focus, from the bibliography, on an aspect related to Roman archaeology not specifically addressed in class (you can choose, among others, one of the topics of section 4 of the program of contents of the course). The objective of the work will be to analyze the knowledge that historical sources provide on the chosen topic and to analyze how archaeology has enriched the knowledge of the subject in question.
With the result of this work each team will prepare a session of about 20 minutes, which will be presented in an oral presentation in the classroom (PowerPoint or other audiovisual support media may be used).
3. Archaeological visit: Travel to an archaeological site related to the subject of the course and writing a paper (optional) collecting the information obtained in situ about it both in terms of the archaeological remains analyzed and their state of conservation and, where appropriate, their museumization.
4. Individual Work. A selected bibliography is provided on the topics of the program that should serve the student to consolidate the knowledge on the content of the subject and eventually expand the presentations made in class.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
