| « Pompéi. De ses origines osques à la colonisation romaine ». Le site archéologique de Pompei compte certainement parmi les plus suggestifs et les plus saisissants qu'il nous soit possible de visiter et d'étudier. Il présente l'avantage de conserver l'essentiel du tissu urbain de l'une des villes les plus importantes du Golfe de Naples au cours de l'Antiquité - avec ses structures monumentales (religieuses et politiques, publiques et domestiques, militaires et industrieuses), mais aussi d'innombrables indices plus modestes témoignant de l'activité quotidienne de la population locale entre la fin de la République et le début de l'Empire. Ce cours ne portera pas sur les derniers jours de Pompei - liés à l'extraordinaire éruption du Vésuve en 79 ap. J.-C. -, mais sur les phases d'installation et de développement de cette agglomération, entre le VIIIe et le Ier siècle av. J.-C., de ses origines osques à la colonisation romaine, en passant par les périodes de domination étrusque, grecques et samnite. |

Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| The MASTERS courses (HAAR0060-1, HAAR0121-2, HAAR0122-2 and HAAR0123-2) are presented as occasional studies on a particular theme for which students' active participation is required. This consists of developing the fundamental knowledge and methodologies acquired during the three years of the Baccalaureat. Each session will be divided into two parts: a presentation of the subject followed by a critical discussion. This discussion should be prepared and led by the students. In line with the schedule set out at the start of the term, the last presentations on the subject could also be led by the most enthusiastic students. The aims of learning are research: thorough presentation and critical discussion of an object or argument. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| None - bearing in mind that the History of Art and Archaeology of Greek-Roman Antiquity is only one element of the indissociable whole of the Sciences of Antiquity (history, philology and the history of religion). |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| For MASTERS students, other than the good habits developed during the years of the Baccalaureat (regular presence in class, analytical work and verification in the library), it is necessary to take a critical approach to the material presented in class. This involves prior preparation of the issues being studied in order to be able to contribute to the discussion and exchange information which has been collated. In some cases, students should also produce regular research and present it to the class. At this level of study, it is indispensable to produce, either individually or in groups, a blibliographical and iconographical database. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| Lectures (illustrated by slides) for which students' active participation will be increasingly required (critical discussion and presentations) |
|
