Nokkuð gott heildaryfirlit þótt í knöppu formi sé. Maður lærir alltaf eitthvað nýtt. Titchener einbeitir sér aðallega að stjórnarfari Rómarveldis og samskiptum rómversku þingmannanna við sterku mennina og síðar keisarana.

An excellent overview of Roman history. Frances is an interesting speaker and she appears knowledgeable. It is a lot to cover in 14 lectures so she moves quickly. I learned some things, so I would recommend the lecture series.
