Portable Professor CD-ROM History Series
Posted: Sat Aug 07, 2004 1:29 amSalvete,
I found this series at Barne & Noble. There is a course called "To
Rule Mankind and Make the World Obey: A History of Ancient Rome".
Here is a summary of what it contains:
The influence of ancient Roman civilization on Western culture is
difficult to overestimate, especially as it affects nearly every
aspect of modern life from language to law, and from military conquest
to spectator sports. In this sweeping series of lectures,
award-winning professor Frances Titchener explores the many
accomplishments of ancient Rome and shows how the empire rose and
fell—as well as how it continues to live on today.

A winner of numerous national and regional teaching awards, Frances B.
Titchener teaches Greek and Latin as well as courses on the history of
ancient Greece, Rome, and Celtic Europe at Utah State University.
Titchener earned her Ph.D. at the University of Texas at Austin and
was the recipient of a Fulbright grant in 2003. A prolific essayist,
she is also editor of the scholarly journal Ploutarchos.
It's on 8 CD's and is 8 hours long and costs $39.95. I am thinking
about buying it this weekend.
