Mary Beard

Event

Step into the world of Ancient Rome with renowned historian Mary Beard as she uncovers the stories that history forgot, with The Secret Histories of Ancient Rome.

In this captivating live event, Mary Beard takes you beyond the well-worn paths of emperors and battles, revealing the rich and complex lives of those often left out of the history books. From the gritty reality of a gladiator's life in the arena to the tumultuous final days of the Roman Republic, Mary rewrites popular narratives, casting fresh light on what you think you know.

But this isn't just about the past, Mary also draws thought-provoking connections between Roman politics and today's world. What can you learn from the rise and fall of the Roman Republic, and how might it resonate with the political landscapes you navigate today?
