The Department of Classics was
created in 2010, bringing together archaeological, historical, philological,
literary, epigraphic and linguistic disciplines related to antiquity, which had
previously been hosted in a range of different departments. As a result of
this, the department both promotes and supports constant interaction between
the disciplines and interdisciplinary approaches to antiquity.
With some 70 faculty
members, we are one of the largest and most preeminent institutions in the
field. We carry out research in all disciplines related to the ancient world,
from the Prehistory to the Middle Ages, in Europe, Africa and in the Near and
Middle East.
The Department is organised
into three Sections: Archaeology, Greek and Latin Philology and History,
Epigraphy and Topography (East and Ancient Mediterranean). It also boasts
eight laboratories, a rich research library, with more than 150,000 volumes,
divided into four main thematic areas (Archaeology, Classical and Byzantine
Philology, Prehistoric Archaeology, Ancient History and Topography), and four
museums (Museo dell’Arte Classica, Museo delle Origini, Museo del Vicino
Oriente, Museo delle Antichità Etrusche e Italiche), which form part of the
Polo Museale Sapienza.
The Department offers:
two BA courses in
Italian: Archaeology and Classics;
two MA courses in
Italian: Archaeology; Philology, Literature and History of the Ancient
World;

Student life
Sapienza is located in the heart of Rome, the capital of Italy. Rome is a city of a mesmerizing beauty, with a long history, a vibrant life style and the highest concentration of historical and architectural riches in the world. Over 16% of the world’s cultural treasures are located in Rome (70% in Italy). As a part of Europe, Italy allows international students to travel and study across the Schengen Area, which includes 26 countries.
Throughout the course of the year, Sapienza organises a myriad cultural, social and sporting activities to encourage students to conduct a well-rounded social life. These include: The “MuSa” orchestras, choirs and jazz ensembles, Sapienza Theatron-Ancient Theatre Group, the RadioSapienza web-radio station and a wide range of sports facilities.
Particularly important for Classics students is the Theatron project, which aims to spread and share the unique experience of classical Greek and Latin theater in its different forms and in its modern reinterpretations. The project consists of two laboratories, one for translation and one for staging. Students, employees and teachers of Sapienza participate in these workshops. The representations of ancient tragedies and comedies are very successful and are an important moment of sharing for the entire community of Sapienza.
The Department of Classics also offers students the opportunity to participate in several workshops such those of Technological and functional analyses of prehistoric artefacts, Cartography, Epigraphy, Digital photogrammetry and archeological remote sensing.
