Summary
Common perceptions of Ancient Rome are plentiful, whether they take the form of crazy emperors hosting lavish feasts, scenes of chariot races and gladiatorial combat, or processions of conquering armies. But that is only half the story.
In this enlightening lecture series, Professor Jennifer Tobin presents a sweeping portrait of Rome, including the lofty developments of senatorial government, historical writing, stunning art and architecture - and even the origins of long-lived customs such as the Roman tradition of carrying a bride over the threshold.

Some questionable "facts" and lack of sources
The presenter provides some theories as if they were well known facts and neglects to site sources while speaking, so unless you are familiar with the subject matter, the listener may take certain theories as confirmed facts (ex. she states that st. peter died in the Christian persecutions following the 64 CE fire in Rome.) Plenty of good information as well, but could be vastly improved and far more transparent.
