The course aims to show the development of Roman artistic production, between the middle republican age and the early Constantinian age, in particular classes of materials chosen from year to year. The theme of the 2018/2019 course is painting, and classroom lessons are necessarily accompanied by educational visits to museums, monuments and sites, in Rome and the surrounding area, that still offer the opportunity to appreciate this form of artistic expression, which has also influenced later european art, both for continuity and for rediscovery by the Renaissance artists
