Mary beard for the romans Joanne fletcher for the Egyptians amazing experts who don’t make history lessons boring.

I really hope Mary Beard gets the chance to and accepts the chance to make another series like this soon. I think her perspective combined with going on site and viewing actual pertinent artifacts is just a winning combination. The "Why the Dark Ages were not Really that Dark" uses a similar formula, and honestly I think it makes for some of the most interesting history doc work.

I often think how great it would be if we had access to a time machine to be able to go back and see it all for ourselves. I wouldn't even be greedy and want to see Roman Triumphs, one of Calligula's venomous snake flinging speeches or Caesar's assassination. I'd be happy just walking the streets and watching normal life go on. Emerse myself in that atmosphere. Even if the price for said time travel was time taken off your own life. Each trip costing you, say, a month off your life. I love history so much I'd probably use up all my life years time travelling and die in ancient Sumer somewhere, 99 years old at 41 and content.

One of the best documentary about Rome I've ever watched, thank you! Highly recommend the 1950's famous British travel writer H V Morton's book "A Traveller in Rome", he went deep dive into the eternal city, basically living like a local, sharing its history, architectures, different cultures/people of various neighborhoods, religious insights, & eating at hundred years old coffee/tea shops. I learned so much. Rome really is an unique city that one can travel to so many times yet still finding new discoveries around the corners each time.

Archaeologists: highly respected dumpster divers.

Yet another brilliant journey with Professor Mary Beard. Professor, I love the way you lay out the information with stories and make your field of expertise both interesting and accessible to laypersons, such as I. Your humor is also so enjoyable ... so British, and in just the right doses. "Olives, olives, and more damn olives!" is among my favorites. Thank you for your work. Thank you, Timeline, for uploading this to your channel.

Love the passion of the moderator! Couldnt imagine this series without her :)

The quality and manner of life completely depended on your status in society. Some had it incredibly well, with slaves looking after their every whim. Others barely managed to sell enough of their bodily labour to earn sustenance to survive. 'Some are born to sweet delight and some are born to endless night', as William Blake mused. And nowhere was it more self evident than Rome. The land of extreme haves and have nots...and what I wouldn't give for a time machine to see it all myself.

If I could go back in time,, I'd take antibiotics, A lot of local currency, an ability to understand and converse with the people, and a reliable way to transport back safely to today.

This documentary is glorious and reminds me of the glory days of documentaries in the 80/90's. Fantastic!

My mother was a history teacher and I dreaded every vacation as it was yet another part of an intense 2-3 week history lesson/ study course. In hindsight I'm grateful, but Mary would have been I would've dropped my gelato for to follow, listen and learn for in a heartbeat. ❤

Mary beard is a great historian. I love your videos. Brilliant video. Love from Sri Lanka ❤️.

I always love Mary Beard's presentation style. Fantastic. "Olives, olives and more damned olives" an Epic statement. .o.😂

Portugal is the most western country in Europe ans was part of the roman empire. But, of course, like everybody else she says that the empire spanned from Israel to Spain! Why do I get surprised by this anyways? Portugal doesn't count even for people who know our country. Everybody seems to assume that Portugal is just another Spanish province and not a sorvereing country!
-
Nice....
-
Could that Spike and methane gas have been volcano eruption? You know which one I'm talking about 😅
-
Amazing documentary. I studied 4 years of Latin in High School and enjoyed learning the History of Rome there and in College. I visited Rome and Pompey several times years ago. This documentary was like traveling without the current days hassles. Well done
-
Another good one from Mary Beard. Thank you for this nugget of information.
-
Daily life in Rome - it was SO GOOD !!!!!!!!!! Amazing. I lived in Rome for 5 years, and still could never imaging all that you taught. Just wonderful. Transforming.

I love Mary🌟🌟 I would love if they could “show” us how these homes and towns would have looked like as well But I’m very thankful to see things I will never see in my life 💙🙏🏼
