Ancient Rome and the Roman World

Image generated by AI

Why did a very ordinary little town by the Tiber come to dominate most of the known world? Who were the Romans? What was their society like? What part did religion play? This group will study both the Republic and the Roman Empire for the five hundred years up to 27BC and on to the reign of the Emperor Constantine and the rise of Christianity in the fourth century AD and examine those and many other questions and aspects of Roman life.

There is a mix of talks and discussions and members are encouraged to make presentations or give talks on topics of personal interest.
