In order to make the most benefit of seminars and lectures by experts and texts in Italian a reasonable level of fluency in Italian is expected; applicants are asked to be aware of this, particularly those who may have little or no Italian at the time of application. Applicants should have some prior knowledge of Roman history and Roman building techniques. If in doubt, students should consult before the beginning of the course with the Course Director who will supply an appropriate bibliography. Visits to sites form an integral part of the teaching and students should be aware that this is an intensive and physically demanding course. |
