Teaching methods
The preparation of the handbook's parts is supported from practices and seminaries (bibliographical and multimedia instruments for the study of the ancient art, the Greek ceramics technological and morphological aspects, the Greek architecture, the Roman mosaic historical aspects and archaeometric research, the Roman painting technical aspects and their restoration). The frontal lessons are equipped from illustrative material and the slides are to disposition of the students. The personal experience of the ancient monuments is facilitated visiting some regional museums and expositions. The didactic internationalization is realized through the teaching persons from the universities connected in the Socrates program. <br />
The acquaintance of the handbook's notions will be demonstrated through two written tests, one for the Greek part and one for the Roman part, preliminary to the oral examination. Two short texts will be also elaborated, concerning two arguments dealt in the course: the deepening bibliography is supplied. <br />
