À propos de cet audio
Integrated approaches to teaching Greek and Roman history are a rarity in academia. Most scholars are historians of either Greek or Roman history and perform research solely in that specific field, an approach that author and award-winning Professor Robert Garland considers questionable.
In these 36 passionate lectures, he provides an impressive and rare opportunity to understand the two dominant cultures of the ancient Mediterranean world in relation to one another - a relationship that has virtually no parallel in world history. He shows you how these two very different cultures intersected, coincided, and at times, collided.
You'll discover the extraordinary culture that we call Greco-Roman: a unique fusion of civilizations that encompasses statecraft, mythology, language, philosophy, fine arts, architecture, science, and much else. Who were the Greeks and the Romans? How did they organize their societies? How did they interact?
In this unique integrated historical approach, you'll see how Greece and Rome's relationship resembled a marriage: two distinct personalities competing in some areas, sharing in others, and sometimes creating a new synthesis of the two civilizations. And you'll consider their more substantive cultural differences, including religion, their views of foreigners, and their ways of thinking.
You'll delight in the variety of sources - literature, archaeology, the visual arts, coinage, inscriptions - that Professor Garland draws upon to assemble a fascinating and complex picture of these two great civilizations. And you'll appreciate how he keeps Greece and Rome focused on how this material affects us today.

Outstanding
Big fan of Robert Garland now - I've been working through all his courses.
His lectures are infused with a genuine passion and excitement for the material yet he governs these passions in his tempered treatment of the history - one comes away from the lecture in awe of the ancients but without falling into the trap of romanticising the past.

Strong lecture series
Garland never disappoints. A strong series taking an integrated view of Greek and Roman history. Professor Garland compares, contrasts, and ultimately digs through the Mediterranean Culture of the Ancient world in an engaging and approachable way.

Very disjointed
Challenging speaker who leaps randomly across vast periods of time. Randomly covers some things in exhausting detail and others with just a wave of his hand. Inconsistent
