Description
The archaeology of the Roman Empire is a rich and dynamic field, within which we can explore the interaction of identities and imperialism, diverse material cultures, and different scales of social dynamics. The Empire has also left a profound legacy to the modern world, which requires careful and critical analysis. In this module, we will consider the major current themes and debates in Roman archaeology, including the nature of Roman identity, regionalism and ‘globalisation’, materiality, and look at key categories of material evidence. The course will be taught as a mixture of lecture/seminar and object-handling sessions.

1.Ìý observation and critical reflection skills, in lectures and through consideration of readings
2.Ìý application of acquired knowledge, through oral contributions and written work
3.Ìý independent research skills, through preparation for coursework
