The seminar is part of the long-term perspective of the realisation of the master thesis. It actually introduces the students to the scientific research work and communication through the study of a question related to the Antiquity, including its reception in later periods. The aim is to bring the students to demonstrate their ability to use scientific instruments and to produce a critical state of the question about a given topic.

For the Bachelor in History :

Each student is required to examine a specific question from a common theme related to the Antiquity in the broad sense and defined by the teacher, in connection with his research.
The theme, its framework and its possible approaches are presented in the introduction. Lectures, discussions and visits to sites and institutions in connection with the theme provide inputs for the critical reflection of the student and help him/her to produce a personal scientific work.
An introduction to epigraphy is integrated in the seminar.

Seminar topic for academic year 2015-2016: Forest in Ancient Mediterranean world. Forest exploitation, deforestation, protection.

The seminar will alternate lectures, discussion sessions prepared by a reading, visits of sites and institutions related to the theme of the year, and presentations by the students. Some sessions are devoted specifically to guide students in their particular research.

Continuous assessment based on students' participation in seminar sessions, their reports of visits of sites and institutions, and their final work (oral presentation and a written document of a dozen pages in BA 2).

The finalisation of the bibliography, starting from a lead provided by the professor, is an integral part of the students' work.
