I love how Nazi orators don’t actually know how to orate.

Such a disgusting accent.

Wow. Thankyou. I don't mean to diminish the import of this clip but, what a babe.

That's interesting.. The festival of Lupercal is mentioned by Antony in the funeral speech for Cesar in Shakespeare as he tried to rile up the crowd into a frenzy which among other things sent Brutus running away for safety.. "..You all did see that on the Lupercal thrice presented him a kingly crown, Which he did thrice refuse. Was this ambition?" So Cicero must have wanted to get him back for that political stunt. Funny. I guess Antony didn't really explain why he was offering a crown to Cesar in the first place. Bad optics.

This is a wonderful overview, thank you!

Thank you

really helpful thanks

VERY GOOD EXPLANATION

Oh my sweet Lord! I could listen to her for hours. I wish I could be an undergrad at Oxford with Gail as my tutor 💕

Interesting analysis! However, the author wouldn't tell you what is right and what is wrong! If he did, his would have been a religious sermon.

perfect talk

Cool video

I am a self-taught reader of Latin with an interst in Roman history. This year, I read Histories I, using an 1896 commentary, which I found helpful, although it failed to too often to elucidate Tacitus’ daunting syntax. So I was thrilled to discover your excellent commentary on Histories II. The combination of grammitcal assistance and historical information made it a pleasure to read the text. I do hope you’ll be doing another commentary on Tacitus.

Thank you - do some more!

Time to raise a glass and say true story

greetings he spoke of the formation of the most perfect alphabet . what I came to understand. Α Ω..

Marcus Crassus defeated Spartacus, Pompey just took credit for the victory.

She seems to be referencing the influence of the Greek Progymnasmata on the Roman historians...

Very interesting and complex Characterisation

Thank you for this! I enjoy hearing those unique elements of the story which give us a view toward Greek society and its sense of humour.

anyone else come watch this after watching the epic rap battle?

Who is this? Need critic's names

epic

Hello

I great introduction and foundation for reading Herodotus' Histories.

Nice.

Really good points. Thanks for your insight.

Very well done Professor. Thank you for these stimulating lectures.

Very interesting presentation Dr. Hall. Concise and informative. Thank you.

Does anyone know when the name 'Pompey' was first used, rather than the presumably correct Gnaeus Pompeius?

Gail, you're awesome!

The Aeneid is indeed very violent. Virgil (like Tarentino?) seems to wallow in splitting heads and spurting fountains of blood.

As a hobbyist reader of history books this was very informative. I also liked the fact that the video was short and straight to the point. I've watched a few of the videos and no doubt will watch plenty more. For those of us who never had a chance to formally study Ancient Greece and Rome these scholarly insights are perfect incentives to carry on. Thanks - much appreciated.

Nice.

Thank you!
