Lecture and Discussion
Most people imagine Rome as a mighty empire—but for roughly five centuries (509–27 BCE), Rome was a republic, governed by elected officials, checks and balances, and a deep suspicion of kingship.

Join Chuck Passarelli, a history enthusiast, for an interesting and entertaining discussion.
