Thank you for this, very interesting.

Sounds like a great lecture in familiarizing one with ancient Rome but i am missing the interaction between the professor and his students...

[@syedzayaullah7318]

we can read Eutruscan.

[@lawsonj39]

Wikipedia says the meanings of a few hundred words of Etruscan are known, but a lot remains to be figured out.

[@rogerevans9666]

According to wikipedia, the Emperor Claudius was the last Roman who could read Etruscan.

Funny how republics become empires--first Athens, then Rome, then America, then the Soviet Union. And oligarchies, all.

America is still under the small e empire

Was that an erotic suggestion at 1:14:20? Seemed to throw Prof Cantor off his stride somewhat.

I listened twice to the student’s question/comment and could not understand what was said.

[@joshdavis2005]

I'm sure most of the class was dozing off as he drones on and on.

[@lawsonj39]

The fact that you're a dunce doesn't mean everybody else is.

[@frankfeldman6657]

I think he's terrific.

[@forester2845]

Maybe, but not us!
