Step into the world of Ancient Rome with renowned historian Mary Beard as she uncovers the stories that history forgot.
 
In this captivating live event, Mary Beard takes you beyond the well-worn paths of emperors and battles, revealing the rich and complex lives of those often left out of the history books.
 
From the gritty reality of a gladiator's life in the arena to the tumultuous final days of the Roman Republic, Mary rewrites popular narratives, casting fresh light on what we think we know. What can we learn from the rise and fall of the Roman Republic, and how might it resonate with the political landscapes we navigate today?
 
Whether you're a history enthusiast or a curious newcomer, this evening promises to be a spectacular journey through time, leaving you with fresh insights into both ancient and modern worlds.
