#443 – Gregory Aldrete: The Roman Empire – Rise and Fall of Ancient Rome

3874.644 - 3893.407 Gregory Aldrete

I mean, shifting from just sort of Roman history in general to my research that I've done as a scholar, the theme that runs throughout my scholarship is practical stuff. I'm interested. How did this actually work in the ancient world? So there's people who are much more theoretical, who look at the symbolic meaning of something. I'm simpler. I just want to know, how did this work?
