Course Content (Syllabus)
TThessaloniki was founded in 316/5 BC by Kassander, who transferred the inhabitants of the existing settlements to the area of the new city. Throughout its history Thessaloniki was an important port and since 148 BC it became the capital of the Roman Province Macedonia and one of the most important centres in the eastern part of the Roman Empire.
The objective of the seminar is to feature the monumental image of the city through the architectural remains, public and private, and the cemeteries. During the courses students will write papers on the most prominent monuments of that period, such as the walls, the ancient Agora, the Galerius palace, the stadium, the hippodrome, the quarters of the ancient city and monuments such as the “Incantadas”, and they will also present them on the site. The main purpose of that is to understand the role that Thessaloniki played as metropolis of ancient Macedonia. The seminar will focus on the private and everyday life of the inhabitants, as this is testified by archaeological finds in the Museum of Thessaloniki as well as by the casts in the Cast Museum of the Faculty of Philosophy. In order to “reveal” ancient Thessaloniki we will also use the existing digital representations and virtual reality.
