The Philology and History of the Ancient World caucus in the Department of Classics runs three doctoral programs:
A. Greek and Latin Philology - coordinator: Francesca Romana Berno.
This program aims to develop specialized skills and advanced research methodologies in literary, philological, grammatical, ecdotic, historical-linguistic, dialectological, epigraphic-papyrological studies relating to the Greek and Roman worlds. The reference period spans a time span from the first incunabula of the 2nd millennium BC, with Mycenaean documentary texts, to the reception and success of ancient culture in later eras, including the modern one. Particular attention is also paid to the dynamics of contact and interaction between different cultures and literatures, such as those between the Jewish and Hellenistic worlds and between the Greek and Roman worlds.
B. Ancient History - coordinator: John Thornton
The three-year Ancient History program instructs students in interdisciplinary approaches to the history, cultures and civilizations of the Greek and Roman worlds. It trains ancient historians in a range of methodologies, helping them to hone philological skills and expertise in the disciplines of ancient history, including epigraphy, archaeology and papyrology.
C. Philology of the Near- and Middle-East - coordinator: Alessio Agostini
The curriculum has as its fundamental reference the field of philological, linguistic, epigraphic, papyrological, and historical studies of the Eastern Mediterranean and Western Asia, from the end of the fourth millennium BCE to the first millennium CE. The program is designed to provide training in the languages and cultures of the Aegean area, Egypt and the Nile Valley, Ethiopia, Anatolia, the Syro-Palestinian region, Northern and Southern Arabia, Mesopotamia, Iran and contiguous regions, extending to Central Asia. Attention is directed toward all types of textual documentation, taking into account also its material dimension.
