Offered in 0 more formatsIn a companion course to Famous Greeks-inspired by the works of Livy, Polybius, Suetonius, and Tacitus as well as the indispensable Plutarch-Professor J. Rufus Fears retells the lives of the statesmen and thinkers who shaped Rome from its rise to world power in the struggle against Carthage to the decline of the Empire after Marcus Aurelius. From the heroes of the early Republic-introduced to you by Professor Fears through an imaginary tour of the Forum as it appeared in 218 B.C.-to the Stoic emperor Marcus Aurelius (d. A.D. 180), Professor Fears tells the gripping story of how the Romans won an empire at great cost to their own liberty, and then blazed paths that Western civilization would follow for the next 1,500 years. You focus on three key epochs: Rome's great war with Hannibal (the Second Punic War); Caesar and the end of the Roman Republic; and the immense majesty of the Roman Empire in the years between Augustus and Marcus Aurelius. You will find Professor Fears versed in archaeology and historical scholarship.
