Course essentials
Through this Classical Art & Archaeology MA you will explores the relationship between humans and their visual and material environment in the ancient world. You will examine monuments, art, objects and the craft skills that produced archeologically significant works. Traditionally, classical archaeology has focused on the art history of Classical Greece and Italy but has more recently branched out geographically, chronologically and theoretically. All trends are well represented here at Kings where our expert staff cover an extraordinarily wide range of specialisms. These include Bronze Age Aegean, Late Antique and Byzantine archaeology and architecture, Roman frontiers, Persian monuments, Greek pottery and sculpture, Roman mosaics and inscriptions. Many other staff members employ art historical and archaeological methods in their work.
