NOW, TELL ME-HAVE YOU BEEN THINKING ABOUT THE ROMAN EMPIRE LATELY? WELL, I CERTAINLY HAVE, SO MUCH SO THAT I DECIDED TO WRITE A SPEECH ABOUT IT! BUT DON'T EXPECT A LECTURE ABOUT THE SCIENTIFIC, ARCHITECTURAL, PHILOSOPHICAL, POLITICAL, OR MILITARY BREAKTHROUGHS OF THAT ERA, AKIN TO THOSE OFFERED BY HISTORY BOOKS.INSTEAD, I BRING YOU A COLLECTION OF COLORFUL ANECDOTES, EXTRAVAGANT FIGURES, AND OUTRAGEOUS EVENTS, ALL TIED TOGETHER BY ONE KEY THEME: THEIR INFLUENCE ON THE MODERN WORLD. BECAUSE AFTER HEARING WHAT VITO CORLEONE HAS IN COMMON WITH JULIUS CAESAR, WHAT PSYCHOLOGICAL TRUTHS LIE HIDDEN WITHIN THE VERSES OF THE ILIAD, AND WHAT NASTY POLITICAL TRICKS CICERO USED TO CEMENT HIS LEGACY AS A BRILLIANT ORATOR, YOU JUST MIGHT FIND YOURSELF THINKING ABOUT ANTIQUITY A LITTLE MORE OFTEN.
