The aim of the seminar is to acquaint students with the basic methodological and methodological procedures applied in this period through work with selected sources and literature. Emphasis is placed on the interpretive mastery of the text and the heuristics of the field. Compared to the course General Ancient History A, the teaching is divided into hour-long, thematically narrower units.
