Annotation

The subject is thematically linked to sphragistics and epigraphics, event. to the subjects of the bachelor's cycle and aims to complete the interpretation of the auxiliary sciences of history and to make it easier for students to work with and interpret historical sources. The teaching is designed as a theoretical interpretation of scientific discipline, historical interpretation of individual topics (e.g. coin development) and practical exercises in which students acquire not only basic material identification, but also the ability to use science historical disciplines in other professional work.
