If you're the type of person who thinks about Rome once a day, this is the show for you.
Hosted by award-winning ancient historian Alexandra Sills, each week we invite an expert guest to give us a crash course in a topic related to ancient Greece, Rome, or their neighbours.
We'll have biographies of historical figures, introductions to ancient works of art and literature, blow-by-blow accounts of events that changed the world, and histories of some of the most special archaeological sites around the Mediterranean.
Whether you already know a little or a lot, our experts know their subjects like the backs of their hands - they will bust myths, explain key concepts, and ensure we have the absolute essential facts we need to understand each topic. Think of us as the university alternative, bringing the teaching straight to you: a comprehensive curriculum, just without the campus!
