Episode CLI - Ovid's Fasti
The Fasti is a poem about the Roman calendar, written by the poet Ovid during the reign of the Emperor Augustus. Writing the poem gave Ovid the chance to think about contemporary Rome through the medium of some of the best known Roman stories, like the City's foundation by Romulus and Remus, and the creation of the republic by Brutus.
This is the first episode of a miniseries now funding on kickstarter. Back it now to receive an additional six episodes.
Guests:
