EP.237 - DAME MARY BEARD
Manage episode 457010386 series 88178
Adam meets leading classicist Dame Mary Beard, who explains what social media tells us about how emperors held on to power in Rome, why shoes are important when talking about power, how many people in ancient Rome really died by being drowned by rose petals, the important roles that apocryphal stories and outright lies play in history and why she replied to every critical message she received following the controversial comments she made soon after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Conversation recorded face-to-face in London on April 16th, 2024.
