The Life and Legacy of the Roman Empire by Ori Soltes
Requirements: .MP3 reader, 343 MB
Overview: This lectures show the development of Rome the Republic as it becomes Rome the Empire – the grand and glorious inheritor of Greek Hellenistic culture and the progenitor of Mediterranean culture throughout Europe, North Africa and the Near East. Roman genius in war, politics, law, literature, and art is discussed.The res romana – the “Roman Thing” – was led by brilliant statesmen like Cato the Elder and the ineffable Julius Caesar; gave rise to bold military strategists; and nurtured poets and philosophers like Cicero and Virgil, Catullus and Ovid, who remolded Greek literature, with its emphatic engagement of the individual, into explorations of community. Roman artists recast Greek and Etruscan sculpture and developed an entirely new direction for painting. Roman architects emulated Greek and Etruscan edifices, but refashioned them according to the innovations derived from Roman engineering genius.
