AHPG815: Prehistory to Pompeii: Archaeology in Ancient Italy |
The archaeology of the Bronze Age communities in prehistoric Italy is the starting point for this unit. A study of the Etruscans, including their origin, material culture and their cities follows. The unit will also devote attention to the colonies sent out by the Greek city-states in the eighth and seventh centuries BC and established in Italy and Sicily. This provides the opportunity to examine the developments in Western Greek culture and the reflections of cross cultural influence between Greeks and native Italic peoples of southern Italy and Sicily. The unit will conclude by focusing on the distinctive material culture of Romanised Greek cities such as Pompeii during first century BC-first century AD.
