Great snapshot of ordinary Romans
Truly enjoyed this lecture. I have been fascinated by ancient Rome for decades and have studied in depth but i learned new amazing facts about the common Roman. If you enjoy this course, watch Dr. Greg Aldrete's courses on Rome. Great in depth study and he's very funny!

Great program..WATCH IT!
The "Hidden" aspect of Roman history is life of the common man: craftsmen, laborers, slaves in the late BC time period to early AD. The presentation is 100% on site (not in studio), showing Pompeii, Herculinium, & Rome. I have been to all these places in person, and have read a lot, but this was eye-opening to me. FABULOUS presentation quality. In credits it says BBC and Discovery channel, so this was made for TV, which is why it is not lecture & slide based. GREAT program.

Great short summary
I loved the fact it was fast-moving and touched on a lot of interesting topics in a way that included humor.

The Way Forward!
This is proof that camera-awkward 'experts' are not needed to present the information. I have completed all TGC Roman Republic/Empire courses and the format of this lecture beats them all. Why not have 'experts' write the scripts and lecture notes and then get someone who has charisma and it not camera-shy to present the lecture? Come on TGC use this style to update other courses - some of which are nearly 20 years old!
