Annotation

The Master's degree programme deals with the material legacies of the ancient Greek and Roman cultures from the 2nd millennium to the end of antiquity in the 6th century AD. These include a considerable number of works whose high artistic rank was considered exemplary for all later epochs. The aim of traditional archaeology is to reconstruct the ancient cultural and intellectual history in the course of the ages. Christian and Byzantine archaeology is concerned with the culture and material legacies from late antiquity to the Byzantine Middle Ages in the provinces of the Roman Empire (4th-7th century) and in the Mediterranean region (4th-15th century). The subject of teaching and research are the core themes of art (painting, sculpture, treasure and minor arts, iconography) and architecture (church buildings, palace and profane architecture) of early Christianity and Byzantium.
