Want to learn more about roman History?

My husband was a history major, and one of his favorite areas of study is Ancient Rome. This means that I often catch bits of materials he is using, like watching the HBO series Rome or listening to podcasts about Roman history on long car trips. Luckily, I too enjoy these things and consider continued curiosity about things part of what makes life worth living. The blogger's intent is to cover the history of Rome "beginning with Aeneas's arrival in Italy and ending (someday) with the exile of Romulus Augustulus, last Emperor of the Western Roman Empire." You can listen to the podcasts on-line, or download them for your computer or mp3 player. Mike Duncan, the blogger, also provides other materials such as images and maps. The old site is here on blogspot. The new site is on typepad. Gaude!
