I, as a man, think about the Roman Empire daily.

No way I'd watch 4 hours of any other history documentary. Everyone has already applauded Mary for her fantastic presentation, but I think the producers and their crew also deserve high praise. The camera work and scene staging is top notch. And the organization required to get the trips planned, the lines scripted & recorded, all the pieces filmed, and to edit it all together so well is insane, especially with a small crew.

I started this video to fall asleep..... however, the story was captivating due to Mary...and her wonderful accent. . so now im fully awake!

I love this twofold: 1) It’s surprisingly hard to find a comprehensive timeline of old societies. Please, please do more! 2) Ms. Mary is an absolute QUEEN.

I’ve been in Rome for 2 days and it’s just completely unbelievable and surreal what went on here and the history of it all .

Quite often I am thinking about the Roman Empire

Mary is amazing. Mary made an impression on my wife and sparked her curiosity of History. It's made our marriage stronger. We sit and enjoy documentaries together and talk about history all the time. Thanks for igniting that spark Mary. I'm forever grateful 🙏

I Love the way Mary orders her thoughts and presents very complex history as though it were just a normal conversation. This is a rare talent. It inspires a student to then go learn all the details they can. She has given a framework for further learning. I think she is one of the greatest teachers of her time. She reminds me of the great Physiologists Arthur Guyton (no physician has published more work than him, at one point 70% of all Chairmen of USA Physiology departments trained under him). He was a kindly, sensitive old genius. that quietly inspired you to go devour as much knowledge as you could. Mary seems to have all those delightful gifts, so humble, so magnificent, she is.

I love english historians. They really know how to deliver and communicate history so damn well. Great expressions.

My wife is Italian. For our honeymoon we went to Italy, right around the time that the "this is my Roman Empire" memes cropped up. At this same time I was reading Mary's "SPQR"....I figured this would be a great way to tie it all off with a bow, and it did not disappoint.....wow.

Marys passion clearly comes through in these documentaries. Which really makes me just keep watching . Applaud her work.

The David Attenbourough of ancient history. I love you Mary Beard and I wish you a long healthy life. ❤

Mary, through the years you have gotten a niche in my life and heart I must say. I absolutely adore your presentations, your acute mind, your wonderful wit, your crass language that sometimes seems to be the closest description of what you are talking about, your incredible knowledge, your humbleness, what a joy you are! Thank you for all your efforts and research, you, and Sir David Attenborough are the real Jewels of the British crown! From a faithful admirer in Germany.

YAY! Mary is amazing!❤

I'm in recovery but glad to report that as a man, I only think about the Roman empire every other day now.

I have been to Tunisia 🇹🇳 and seen the Roman remains, the Arena, and an old foundation settlement, the Roman Mosaic are fascinating because some of the details correspond with computer programs and that suggest the Romans being more advanced than how we imagine their civilization could have been. We spent a full day with the tour guides as an exclusion and glad we did. The Arena is cluster of tunnels with gateway, and being there can imagine the furious animals treading through these tunnels making their way to the main court of the Arena and there are claw marks imprinted in the stone and it must have been terrifying for the participant.. really was an experience. Love watching these documentaries ❤

I love how they use no special effects and movies to "show" us what was happening. They just show everything as it is today. The sceneries, artifacts, etc. It's like they want us to imagine and reconstruct the empire in our own head and imaginations!

My new modern-day heroine is Mary Beard. Mary and the unseen team have done an astounding job on this series. I'm about to be a total history addict once more after a long hiatus.

It would be so amazing to go back in time during the Pax Romana and walk around the city as an observer. See and hear the people as they actually were. Wow.
