They are all volunteer who devote a significant amount of time attending
and participating in the activities held by the Seminario Permanente de
Historia de las Religiones of Huelva´s University (Continuous Seminar

Seminar organises two sorts of activities.
On the one hand, it helds two full-term regular courses of Ancient
History Religion. The first course
is aimed to provide the students –mostly engaged in Humanistics as well as
Social Studies- with a fair kwnoledge of Ancient History Religion.
There are usually more than one hundred students attending the lessons,
which make the Seminar well known and successfull. The second course is devoted to the study of specific texts
and evidences. In order to fulfill
the requirements for this second course, the students are encouraged to learn
and study Ancient Epigraphy and Latin and Classical Greek.

Religiones organises and conducts several conferences throughtout the year. The members of the Assistant Group are all attending the Seminar´s
