STORY OF AMERICA - To properly understand the exploration and colonization of North America, one should have some understanding of Roman history. The Conquest of Gaul by Julius Caesar (100-44 BC) during the mid-first century BC brought Roman occupation and influence to a land later to become France, one of North America’s major European founding nations. North American institutions, architecture, infrastructure, city planning, art, history, culture, manners, customs, traditions, political organizations, laws and language, owe a great deal to the Roman Empire. Join me on this fun precursor to the French exploration and colonization of North America.
