  • Résumé

  • Hot takes on the ancient world by two Classics students and dead language fanatics! We discuss everything ancient, from the sexiest Greek heroes to which Latin grammar constructions we would FMK to gossiping with Tacitus to Aristotle's opinion on Harry Potter...

    Bringing dead languages to life, this podcast will explore the ancient world through our modern eyes, joking at times, sincere at others, but always hoping to inspire the love of Classics in future generations.

Listen in to learn about the friendships, enemies, and political maneuvers of the great Roman orator, and decide for yourself whether Cicero played by the rules of Roman amicitia, or if his "friendships" were one of the heralds of his murder.
