Learning unit contents

In 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 (with different speakers throughout these two years), the seminar will be devoted to 'Manticsm (ie. divination) in the Ancient Worlds'.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

This collaborative and joint seminar between two departments of the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters (Historical Sciences and Ancient Sciences) aims to raise students' awareness of the need to be trained in the different specialities and disciplines of Antiquity (history, art history and archaeology, philology, papyrology, epigraphy, numismatics) and to promote dialogue in all fields of Antiquity (Ancient Near East, Greece and Rome).

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

None -bearing in mind that History, Archaeology, Philology, Epigraphy, Numismatics, History of religions and History of art form an inseparable whole, which brings together all the specialists of the Altertumswissenschaft.
