单集

  1. Saepta Julia

    11月8日

    Saepta Julia

    The Saepta Julia began with a noble intention - a defined place for citizens to meet, debate and vote. It was built at the instruction of Julius Caesar, at a time when the ideals of voting were still being upheld. Guest: Assoc. Professor Rhiannon Evans (Classics and Ancient History, La Trobe University).

    The Mausoleum of Santa Costanza

    In the outer suburbs of Rome is a well preserved late Roman mausoleum, built for the daughter of Constantine the great. While late Roman in nature it shows the influences of early Christian architecture. Guest: Dr Christopher Gribbin (Adjunct Lecturer, Classics and Ancient History, La Trobe University).

  3. The House of the Baker

    6月14日

    The House of the Baker

    In Pompeii there is a House of the Baker - a strangely designed dwelling with a famous mosaic of a man handing out bread that gives it its name. But perhaps the image indicates a different scene. Guest: Professor Steven Tuck (History and Classics, Miami University).

  4. The Temple of Bel

    3月15日

    The Temple of Bel

    The Temple of Bel in Palmyra mixed the religions of Rome with beliefs in the east, providing the residents of the city with their own unique deities. While significant as a Roman temple, it had a long history in the years that followed, and has played an important part in Syria’s recent tragic events. Guest: Dr Peter Edwell (Senior Lecturer, History and Archaeology, Macquarie University).

  5. Utica

    1月5日

    Utica

    Founded as a Phoenician city, Utica became an important Roman colony on what is now the Tunisian coast, but it never managed to get past a healthy rivalry with nearby Carthage. Guest: Assistant Professor J. Andrew Dufton (Archeology, Dickinson College)

  6. Aurelian Walls

    Aurelian Walls

    No structure says ‘Crisis of the Third Century’ more than the Aurelian Walls. The city of Rome had long been at peace and largely untouchable, but Aurelian realised that times had changed, and the capital of the empire needed defending. Guest: Associate Professor Caillan Davenport (Head of the Centre for Classical Studies at the Australian National University).
