AHIS231: 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 also devotes attention to the colonies sent out by Greek city-states in the 8th and 7th 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 concludes by focusing on the distinctive material culture of Romanised Greek cities such as Pompeii during I BC – I AD.
