Overview
About the programme
Classical Archaeology and Ancient History at Uppsala University includes areas that have been directly influenced by the Graeco-Roman cultural sphere, from the Greek Bactria in present-day Afghanistan to Roman Britain, as well as different cultures such as Persians and Celts.
Classical archaeology is interdisciplinary and the Classical period is studied from perspectives of archaeology, history and art history. Students will encounter different types of archaeological, iconographical (i.e. imagery) and historical source material.
In addition to the preserved Classical literature, this latter material encompasses both monumental inscriptions and everyday graffitti. In addition, the Classical heritage is included as a special theme.
