Professor Frances B. Titchener
About this listen
This course explores the world of Ancient Rome as students investigate important events and key figures of the epoch. The individual lectures will examine major themes while touching upon the fascinating details of Roman life, such as the Romans' intensely hierarchical social order. Along the way, numerous facts of cultural literacy, such as what it means to "cross the Rubicon", will be illuminated as listeners enjoy Frances Titchener's unique style and finesse. At the end of this course, students will possess a thorough understanding of Ancient Rome's legacy to the modern world, and will have fully considered the poet Vergil's assertion that the Romans' talent was to "rule mankind and make the world obey."

Best available History of Rome
Brilliant and engaging account of Rome's development. By a distance the most thorough and complete. Frances in complete command of her subject, and funny as well.

Entertaining, Informative and Addictive
Frances B. Titchener delivers an easy to follow lecture series, which kept me entertained from start to finish. I would recommend this to anybody who wishes to familiarise themselves with the most significant events and leaders in Roman history. Professor Titchener charms the listener with humour and captivating narration. I will listen to A History of Ancient Rome again in the future.

A good outline.
Once I had got used to the delivery, I found it a good introduction to Roman history filling in a lot of gaps in my knowledge and giving an overview of the subject. Focus was on the important details so I now have a framework to add to. Not trivial but also not too heavy.
