When In Rome: Cobbled roads under a relaxed stride, the sharp scent of braziers burning, marble columns spearing into the brisk, twilight sky. These monuments stand unassuming to its citizens, unknowing that the stones they walk on will be immortalized in the western zeitgeist for thousands of years in museums, art galleries, and textbooks alike. With When in Rome, listeners step into the lives of those who witnessed one of the most influential empires of the western world first hand.
