Download Greece and Rome: An Integrated History of the Ancient Mediterranean AudioBook Free
Integrated approaches to educating Greek and Roman background are a rarity in academia. Most scholars are historians of either Greek or Roman background and perform research entirely in that specific field, an approach that author and award-winning Teacher Robert Garland considers doubtful. In these 36 passionate lectures, he provides an impressive and rare possibility to understand the two dominant ethnicities of the historical Mediterranean world with regards to one another - a marriage that has nearly no parallel in world background. He demonstrates how these two very different ethnicities intersected, coincided, and sometimes, collided. You will discover the amazing culture that we call Greco-Roman: a distinctive fusion of civilizations that encompasses statecraft, mythology, language, school of thought, fine arts, architecture, science, and much else. Who were the Greeks and the Romans? How did they coordinate their societies? How did they interact? In this unique integrated historical strategy, you'll see how Greece and Rome's marriage resembled a relationship: two unique personalities competing in a few areas, posting in others, and sometimes creating a fresh synthesis of the two civilizations. And you will consider their more substantive cultural differences, including faith, their views of foreigners, and their ways of thinking. You'll take pleasure in all of the sources - literature, archaeology, the visual arts, coinage, inscriptions - that Teacher Garland draws upon to assemble a remarkable and intricate picture of the two great civilizations. And you will appreciate how he maintains Greece and Rome targeted how this material affects us today.
