The Way of Rome

From Senatus Populus que Romanus (the Senate and People of Rome) to Ave Caesar, we’ll unearth and explore the history, outsized personalities and structures of everyday life—both republican and imperial. We’ll look at everything from life in a ramshackle apartment block in the Subura to Caesar’s campaigns across the Mediterranean. From philosophizing at Cicero’s villa in Tusculum to the take-no-prisoners politics of the late republic. We’ll look at it all. Perhaps a Roman feast and visit from Marcus Aurelius as well?
