The life of Christians can be understood through the study of the first plastic manifestations in antiquity" 

The first approach to Christian archaeology follows the systematic exploration of ancient Roman cemeteries and catatombs, expeditions led by what is known today as the father of the discipline, Antonio Bosio. Since then, many professionals have dedicated themselves to studying the historical progress of the church through the plastic manifestations that have been found.  

All this provides the basis for learning about the rites, funerary monuments, cult buildings and iconic expressions of the church's faith. Therefore, its study is necessary at present. With this in mind, this postgraduate diploma will help students to learn about religion through the aforementioned manifestations.
