| Course description | For this course one (or more) group(s) of students work together to create a presentation on a theme relevant to the classical world. The group determines the subject of the display and the means to present it to the general public and fellow students: this may be in the form of an exhibition, website or performance (or any other relevant medium), but the results have to be available to the designated audience (and the examiners) by the end of the Semester. |
