Thinking in English

358. History of Rome (English Vocabulary Lesson)


Listen Later

When you imagine the city Rome, what comes to mind?

Maybe the Colosseum, the Vatican, one of the largest empires in history, or delicious pasta? Rome isn’t just Italy’s capital; it’s also one of the most influential cities in human history.

In today’s Thinking in English episode, we are going to take a journey through time, from the mythical founding of the city by Romulus and Remus, through the Roman Republic and Empire, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and finally to modern Rome. I’m not an expert on Italian history, but I loved researching this episode and I think this is such an interesting topic.

You’ll discover its myths, politics, art, and language, and of course learn plenty of useful English vocabulary along the way.
