An OK introducty roman history course. I would likely have gotten more out of it, but I listen to this on the back of Mary Beard's SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome, which highlighted areas where this was uncritically presenting the standard rote interpretation of the sources that she was poking at.This unfortunately undermined some of the credibility of the content. I dont want to be too harsh as this course as the material presented seems like a pretty standard roman empire 101 style syllabus
