Happy birthday Roma! It's the anniversary of the founding in 753 B.C. of Rome, perhaps the single city that has most influenced way we live and think about the world today in the West.

TGE celebrates the occasion by exploring various perspectives on Rome, its history, national character and most famous dish - Carbonara! Today I am joined by Brian Marshall and Timothy Brady, two experts in Roman history to discuss aspects of Roman culture that have worked their way into our own way of life.
