These 24 lectures explore the lives of influential individuals who shaped Roman history, from Hannibal and Augustus to Marcus Aurelius, highlighting their actions and legacies across three pivotal eras: the Second Punic War, the end of the Roman Republic, and the imperial period. The course delves into fundamental questions about Rome's political and cultural development, examining the impact of Greek civilization, the transformation from republic to empire, and the era's remarkable creativity. Designed to bring these historical figures to life, the lectures foster a deeper understanding of Rome's enduring influence on history and contemporary culture.
