Ancient Rome in 50 Monuments 

Wednesday 9, 16, 23, 30 July, 6 August, 6-7.30pm (UK time)

“Rome was not built in a day.”  Too true.  It evolved over centuries, driven by politics, society, technology and its rulers, the Emperors. In Rome conspicuous display of wealth and power was paramount.  Monuments symbolised that power. They were useful – theatre, temple, forum – but they also embellished the city and glorified the Emperors. Through these monuments, the kings and emperors who built them, and the impact they had, we’ll see Rome’s growth from hilltops of huts to the most wondrous city of antiquity.
