Mito Arte e Società nelle Metamorfosi di Ovidio).
Se, infatti, l’opera di Livio ha dimostrato di rivestire crescente importanza nel campo degli studi archeologici, spesso alla luce della verifica archeologica della fonte letteraria, l’analisi delle possibili suggestioni iconografiche offerte da Livio allo storico dell’arte costituisce un aspetto decisamente meno noto all’interno dell’opera dello storico patavino, tenuto conto di quelle che sono le finalità della sua produzione letteraria.
Tuttavia un qualche margine di intervento per lo storico dell’arte potrebbe aprirsi in particolare nei contesti in cui si fa riferimento ai bottini di guerra, passi che ci sembra meritino una qualche attenzione, nel tentativo di recuperare echi sia di un patrimonio figurativo antico per noi perduto sia criteri dei selezione tipologica di manufatti che rispecchiano il gusto della società coeva .

Seven millennia of technological growth and social complexity” will gather at Padua a pool of leading international experts on gold technologies in the ancient world, to teach an intensive one-week course. The school, based on the close interaction of university students, academics and professionals of gold studies and the jewelry sector will touch a selection of crucial topics, crossing seven millennia of Eurasian history and stimulating the interdisciplinary discussion, in an informal university environment.
The classes, in English, will introduce the basis of ancient gold studies, alternating general lectures, to the presentation of important archaeological discoveries and the discussion of recent research projects, distinguished by an advanced scientific approach. The course will be completed by two excursions, at Vicenza and Brescia, to experience the direct observation of archaeological gold and gilded materials.
On Tuesday 26th we will be guested by the gold trade fair Vicenzaoro, to meet artisans jewelers and to visit the local Museum of Jewelry.
On Thursday 28th, we will be at Brescia, visiting the collections of the Museum of S. Giulia, a UNESCO site with important examples of Roman gilded bronzes and unique pieces of Lombard jewelry.

The techniques used in the study included minero-petrographic (OM on thin section and XRD on powders) and isotopic analyses (SIRA, on powders).
