Roman History with Mary Beard

Journey into the social and political world of Roman Emperors with one of the world’s foremost classicists, Mary Beard. In her newest book, Emperor of Rome, Beard takes readers inside the Imperial palace for an in-depth look at conspiracies, power, and what it meant to be emperor. She also goes beyond the emperor himself to introduce us to his wives and lovers, rivals and slaves, court jesters and soldiers. Beard brings her classic wit, charm, and scholarship to the Chicago Humanities stage to chat about politics and corruption in one of the most intriguing eras of history.

This lecture was fantastic and so educating. I look forward to more lectures with Mary Beard. Mary Beard is my utmost favourite classicist of all time. I love her work.
Thank you Chicago Humanities Festival and Mary Beard for this wonderful and informative lecture.

I have read a couple of her books, but then again a few books by others, like Adrian Goldsworthy.

Leftovers were normally given to the poor populace outside, so being treated as such in the next days dinner certainly would have been seen as penny pinching and careless of actual people who depended on the feast’s leftovers.
I love making multiple hard boiled eggs in the morning and whichever is imperfect is stored for later (or I give my autistic son the perfect one and myself the ugliest one.)
