DecimusCaesar Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 I found this interesting talk by historian Michael Parenti about society during the time of the Late Republic. It lasts about an hour and a quarter. It's a People's History in the same vein as Howard Zinn's book. It's been reviewed on this site twice, but I've never had the chance to read it. Here is Parenti's own website: Michael Parenti's Site I don't agree with much of his analysis in this talk, but I do find it quite interesting. I for one never really noticed the casual racism from such famous classicists as Ronald Syme, Theodore Mommsen or Jerome Carcopino. Do you agree with what he says here?
