Rome, Around the World: Part 2A of the miniseries "You Can't Head West When The West Is in Your Head"
Episode Description
Do you want to understand Western civilization? Then you need to understand ancient Rome.
Except that Rome is a lot trickier to understand than it seems. It lasted much, much longer than folks tend to realize. Its borders also contained many, many different kinds of people who held all kinds of different beliefs. And, to make things even messier, even the Romans couldn't agree on what the heck it meant to be Roman.
Join Professional History Doctor Guy Doug Sofer for the next part of this threeish-part miniseries called, You Can't Head West When The West Is in Your Head. Discover why Romans feared that Rome was in danger of becoming less Roman! Find out about Roman 3D Face Printing! Hear why the Roman Senate condemned both the mishings and mashings of the Cult of Dionysus!
Mostly, unearth the mysteries [imagine some spooky music here] of why, whatever the heck Rome was, it was definitely not just one simple thing.
