Educational goals:
Presentation of the historical and political course of Rome from its origins, through the development of the "Italian", medditeranean, multicontinental region, to reach the collapse of the Western Empire (476 AD) and beyond, until the survival of the "Roman" ideal in the Byzantine world, the Middle Ages and the modern West.
Course contents:
The course aims to combine a dynamic path - attentive to history, politics and economics in the relevant geographical context - with a a structural path, sensitive to the institutional dimension: in a dynamic history, the acquisition of enormous territories, social upheavals requiring constant adjustments to the Roman world, designing large institutions not only in Rome but beyond Rome itself. The roots and the fortune of these institutional innovations will be traced in literary texts that mark the evolutionary stages of Roman political thought.
