| Inhalt | This course offers a comprehensive survey of daily life in the Roman world, focusing on a regional approach through archaeological evidence. Crossing the vast territory of the Roman Empire, students will examine artefacts, structures and material remains from specific sites in the western and eastern provinces of the Empire. The aim of the course is to explore the social, economic, cultural and political landscapes in order to understand the different experiences of ancient people living in different regions and how geographical factors influenced their daily lives. This proseminar provides a comprehensive introduction to the sources, methods and theories of archaeological and historical research. We will cover the topic by evaluating and combining textual sources and material culture through the analysis of specific case studies. |
| Lernziele | Students will analyze the different types of evidence and methods used by history and archaeology to investigate the ancient world, and consider how different approaches can be used to understand everyday life in Roman society. The course will examine a range of topics related to everyday life in antiquity, including daily routines, economic activities, family affairs, religious and funerary practices, public and entertainment spaces, art and culture. Students will develop their analytical skills, formulate comparative assessments of socio-cultural and geographical contexts, and reflect critically on the available evidence. |

| Leistungsüberprüfung | Lehrveranst.-begleitend |
| Hinweise zur Leistungsüberprüfung | There will be weekly readings which will be announced at least one week in advance, and from which you will be expected to take notes and participate in class. You will also be required to do presentations on specific readings or articles, which will be assigned during the semester. The presentations should be max 10-15 min in length and demonstrate outside research and original engagement with the topic of the course. That means, I want to see what you yourself have understood from the article or reading and whether you can apply what you analyze during the course to specific case studies. Additionally, 2 credits points for Proseminar Arbeit. The Proseminar Arbeit topic must be agreed with the lecturer by the end of the course and handed in by the end of July. |
