Classical Archaeology
The Department of Classical Archaeology was established in 1997 as the only workplace in Slovakia providing education in this field of study. Teaching focuses on the art, history, culture and archaeology of ancient Greece, Rome and the Roman provinces. It also covers the Aegean Bronze Age (Minoan and Mycenaean civilisations), the history of antiquity (Egypt and the Near East) and the archaeology of the peripheral regions of the ancient world (Scythians, Celts, Thracians, Cimmerians). Courses in classical Greek and Latin, as well as contemporary world languages, are part of the curriculum. A specific feature of the study is the comparison of the development of prehistoric Europe with the advanced civilizations of the Aegean region. Its aim is to show the interrelationships and influence of ancient Greece and Rome on historical developments in barbarism. Special emphasis is also placed on the Danubian provinces. The programme of study includes fieldwork in archaeological research and a professional excursion.
