Simply a BRILLIANT discussion. I’m no expert, but I love history. Mary Beard has made me think about this era of history in new ways. We cannot relate to the average Roman or subject of the Empire in some far-flung region. We forget… There was no television. There was no mass media. Not even newspapers. The change in emperors could have barely registered a blip on the lives of most people. We get to size up our leaders on a daily basis. But ancient citizens of this empire barely knew more than what they saw on coins.

Having seen Mary Beard's documentaries on the Roman world, her lectures and discussions on YouTube throughout the years, it has been such a pleasure to see her again talking about the Empire and Emperors. It has been too long and it is such a delight to hear again as usual in an in depth discussion about the meaning of Emperor. Bravo!

Mary is such a lovely human being AND she has worked so hard to get where she is, to educate the public and to give like-minded people an appreciation for history and why it’s important to our existence today. If I could invite people to run my life from a board of directors, I would to have Mary as director!

I love hearing Mary Beard - she is so knowledgeable and puts things across in such an enthusiastic and easy to understand manner. No pretensions nor pomposity. Wish she’d been one of my lecturers.
