El portal. Este verano inauguramos en Canal March una colección dedicada al mundo clásico. En este espacio encontrarás, como explica este vídeo, más de cien conferencias sobre la Antigüedad grecorromana y su entorno agrupadas en torno a materias y temas clave.

Como si de un curso se tratara… este formato te permite aprender a tu ritmo sobre, entre otros, el arte griego clásico, la mitología, las batallas del Imperio romano o la sociedad griega. Además de poder verla en vídeo, o descargar el audio, en cada conferencia tienes acceso a un archivo con un resumen de las principales ideas y una selección de bibliografía recomendada.
