The archaeological material culture and iconography provide many information on different aspects of the daily life of that time. Other important documents are the figurative inscriptions widespread in Late Antiquity.
The aim of the proseminar is to introduce the students to the Late Antique daily life. The main themes of urban and rural life, working and free time activities (dance and music as well as food and drinking), clothing and personal appearance, religious practices and devotion will be analysed and contextualized. Each student through an oral presentation and a written essay will be required to elaborate one of the themes proposed during the first lessons.
