Hosted by Ancient Rome Live Creator Darius Arya via Zoom
Each month, we offer two exclusive—and completely free—learning experiences:
a 20-minute Seminar, a fast, focused dive into the stories and sites of ancient Rome, and a one-hour Masterclass, where you can join leading scholars for an in-depth exploration and ask your questions live.
Our seminar calendar gets a fresh update every month so that you can plan ahead, mix, match, and grab your front-row seat to history.
A fast dive into Rome’s year-end revelry from wild pagan Saturnalia to the rise of December 8’s Festa dell’Immacolata, and the traditions that shaped Christmas in the Eternal City.
Expert Guest: Jacob Mackey, PhD
Join us for a one-hour masterclass with Jacob Mackey, leading scholar of Roman religion and author of Belief and Cult, for a conversation that upends the idea that “belief” belongs solely to Christianity. It’s a fresh, fascinating look at what Romans really thought they were doing when they worshipped.
