Mary Beard - The Secret Histories of Ancient Rome

Mary Beard - The Secret Histories of Ancient Rome tickets in Glasgow

Historian Mary Beard brings a live talk to King's Theatre, Glasgow, exploring the lives of Romans who rarely feature in conventional histories. Moving beyond emperors and military campaigns, she draws connections between ancient Roman politics and contemporary political life, and invites the audience to put their own questions to her directly.

What the evening involves

Mary Beard presents fresh perspectives on Ancient Rome, focusing on figures and stories typically marginalised in popular accounts. She also examines what Roman political history might illuminate about the world today, making the evening as much about the present as the distant past.

The format includes an audience question-and-answer element, so attendees can pursue lines of enquiry that interest them personally. Books will be on sale on the night for those who wish to take something home.
