The modern Western world is colored by the concept of Judeo-Christian morality; it affects all of us to some degree, even if we are not religious. Morality in our society alters our perspective on the present and can radically skew our view of the past. The Roman world is one that, at times, can seem very alien to us.

Come and see if you can step outside modern bias to truly interpret the past. Lecture by historian Lauren A. M. Hammersen
